GWR 6100 Class
From TrainSpottingWorld, for Rail fans everywhere
The GWR 6100 Class is a class of prairie tank locomotives, designed by Charles Collett, and of the 2-6-2T arrangement.
They were introduced in 1931 and were a development of the earlier 5101 Class with increased boiler pressure for commuter services in the London area.
One, 6106, has survived into preservation, and is at Didcot Railway Centre.
