G W R 2-8-0


Recommended Posts

There were a number of 'foreign' locos trialled over the S&D by the Western Region after their takeover (including a WD 2-8-0 and a GWR 0-6-2 tank), but I don't recall seeing any photo (and I've studied loads) of a GWR 28XX. That doesn't of course mean it didn't happen, but I don't recall it being mentioned either. Again, they may have been allowed into BATH, but from memory I've never seen a photo. I don't think ANY outside cylinder ex-GWR tender locos ran over the S&D, probably something to do with their width across the cylinders ?. A GWR Bulldog 4-4-0 (inside cylinders) once hauled a special down the branch from the GWR end to the south coast I think, in the '30s I think.
