    I have started new collections featuring GWR/BR W.R. Pannier Tank locos, This first collection Collett's 1366 class is the smallest and the only Pannier Tank designed by Collett with outside motion, mainly designed and allocated for the Weymouth Harbour trains.

    Another collection of Pannier tanks from the GWR. This collection features George Armstrong GWR 1901 class 0-6-0ST which were all converted to Pannier tanks under William Dean, originally built as Saddle tanks during the period 1881-1895.
    The GWR 1901 Class was a class of 120 small 0-6-0ST steam locomotives. Numbered 1901–2020, they were designed by George Armstrong (responsible to William Dean at Swindon) and built at the Wolverhampton railway works, England, of the Great Western Railway between 1881 and 1895.

    I have added a collection of 16 photos featuring William Dean's GWR 1854 Class 0-6-0ST (Rebuilt as 0-6-0PT)
    The GWR 1854 Class was a class of 0-6-0T steam locomotives designed by William Dean and constructed at the Swindon Works of the Great Western Railway. The class used similar inside frames and chassis dimensions to the 1813 Class of 1882-4. In this they differed from the intervening 1661 Class, which had reverted to the double frames of the Armstrong era. Thus the 1854 Class belongs to the "mainstream" of GWR 0-6-0PT classes that leads towards the larger GWR pannier tanks of the 20th century.
    Originally built as a saddle tank

    I have added 32 new photos to the collection of Collett's small 0-6-0PT design, They were similar in appearance to many other GWR tank engines but smaller than the ubiquitous GWR 5700 Class.
    The Collett-designed 5400 Class had 5 ft 2 in (1.575 m) driving wheels for greater top speed with autocoaches, and were all fitted with the required remote control gear for working the push-pull autotrains. They had a modern cab and a larger bunker. They were frequently seen on inner suburban routes from Paddington. A few of the photos need locations if anyone can help please
    Either in push pull mode
