Information
Features

Under the tenure of George J. Churchward, the Great Western Railway (GWR) 45XX Class Small Prairie Tank Locomotives were built, with construction beginning in 1906 and by 1915, four batches totalling 55 locomotives had been completed. Following Grouping in 1923, Charles Collett ordered the construction of twenty more, before modifying the design to produce the 4575 Class. The two types were essentially the same, but with the 4575s boasting a higher water carrying capacity, facilitated by larger side tanks which made it easy to tell the two types apart # the 4575s having slope sided tank tops whereas the 45XX#s tanks had straight tops. One hundred 4575s emerged from Swindon Works between 1927 and 1929 and like their sister locomotives, they were put to work on mixed traffic duties, predominantly on branch lines.

The entire fleet was inherited by British Railways upon Nationalisation in 1948, but eight years later withdrawals being, the closure of branch lines and the introduction of diesel multiple units signalling their demise. By 1964 the entire Class had gone, but the Class is strongly represented today as eleven examples survived the cutters torch and are now preserved at various sites across the UK.
