    About GWR 14xx

    A charming class of engines, the GWR 14xx was designed to replace the aging Wolverhampton '517' class. With modern refinements, these engines boast a Group 7 SS type boiler and a pressure of 165 p.s.i. The cab is equipped with large windows for better visibility. Initially numbered 4800 to 4874, a later class was added with numbers 5800 to 5819.
