Description
The 30 'King' class 4-6-0s were GWR's most prestigious express passenger engines. When introduced in 1927
they were the most powerful steam locomotives in Britain. The most famous was No. 6000 King George V which
visited the USA for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad centenary. It was preserved on withdrawal in 1962 and after
steam had finished on British Railways it 'broke the ban' when it returned to main-line operation, setting the scene
for today's numerous steam specials.
