GWR 56xx
Due to the high volume of coal traffic in South Wales in the 1920's more engines were required. Following on from the success of the 0_6_2 wheel arrangement of the existing locomotives the GWR decided to build their own version, namely the 56xx. A total of 200 locomotives were built with only slight alterations over the years.
