GWR 0-4-0ST

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

GWR No. 1340 Trojan preserved at Didcot Railway Centre

The GWR 0-4-0ST steam locomotives were acquired by the Great Western Railway at the 1923 grouping. They came from small railways (mostly in South Wales) and from contractors. Some of them survived into British Railways ownership in 1948 and a few are preserved.
