The GWR 1400 Class was designed by Charles Collett to be used as a lightweight locomotive on branchline passenger duties. They were an advancement of the earlier 517 class and were originally numbered as 48xx. Some were converted to oil firing and kept the same numbering, with the unmodified locomotives changing to the 14xx designation. The 14xx locos were designed to work with the GWR's specialist "autocoach" which enabled push-pull working and the class proved to be highly successful on these workings. |
