The GWR 1400 Class is a class of steam locomotive designed by the Great Western Railway for branch line passenger work. It was originally classified as the 4800 Class when introduced in 1932, and renumbered in 1946. Although credited to Charles Collett, the design dated back to 1868 with the introduction of the George Armstrong 517 class.

The 1400 class was motor fitted for working push-pull trains which is the only difference between this class and the 5800 class. They were employed all over the GWR system on light branch trains until they began to succumb to branch line closures and the introduction of diesel railcars with the first being withdrawn in 1956.

2024年5月1日 · The Great Western Railway’s Collett 0-4-2Ts hold great appeal and potential for model railways – especially when formed into push-pull auto trains. We review the Hattons GWR 14XX 0-4-2T for OO gauge.

No model of the quintessential Great Western branch line would be complete without one of that company’s little 0-4-2Ts and matching autocoach. EVAN GREEN-HUGHES traces the origins of this attractive tank engine back to the mid-19th century.

The Great Western Railway developed its 14XX-class 0-4-2T for rural branchline service. The engine was designed by C.B. Collett. Despite its slightly old-fashion appearance, the 14XX was, in fact, a relatively modern locomotive, being first brought into service in 1932. In all, 75 were built.

Perhaps more than any other classes the 4-coupled tanks show the alternate Swindon and Wolverhampton lines of development and maintenance of the 19th century. There were two classes built in large numbers: the 0-4-2 517 class and the slightly larger 2-4-0 Metro Class.
