Explore the fascinating history of the Great Western Railway (GWR) and its legendary locomotives.
The first locomotives for the Great Western Railway were initially specified by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, but it was Daniel Gooch, GWR's first Locomotive Superintendent, who designed early broad gauge icons like Fire Fly and Iron Duke. Later, Chief Engineers George Jackson Churchward and Charles Collett made significant contributions, introducing the 4-6-0 and iconic locomotive classes such as the King and Castle.
Watch as we feature stunning footage of the most celebrated locomotives from GWR's past, such as the Fire Fly 2-2-2 Replica, 9017 Earl of Berkley 4-4-0 Dukedog and the GWR No 22 Diesel Railcar.
