GWR 56xx
GWR/BR 56XX
Designed by Collett and built from 1924-1928 these 0-6-2 side tank locomotives could be found predominately in the South wales valleys but after a number of years some strayed into other areas of the GWR.
Rated 5MT by BR their purpose was to draw coal trains from the colliery exchange sidings to the docks and industry but they often found their way onto local passenger services.
They have proved popular with preserved railways as they are versatile powerful machines that can lend their hand to most tasks.
