    The GWR 1901 Class was a class of 120 small 0-6-0 saddle tank steam locomotives. Numbered 1901-2020, they were designed by George Armstrong (responsible to William Dean at Swindon) and built at the Wolverhampton railway works, England, of the Great Western Railway between 1881 and 1895. They had wheels of 4 ft 0 in (1.219 m) diameter and a coupled wheelbase of 13 ft 8 in (4.17 m).
    The whole series except for 1925 and 2007 were rebuilt as pannier tanks.

    Still in original as built Saddletank design

    lovely photos but I think you should edit the bit about the whole series being rebuilt as panniers.

    Was not one of these locos in the 1949 UK film 'The Chiltern Hundreds'?
