The GWR 4100 Class was a class of steam locomotives in the Great Western Railway (GWR) of the United Kingdom. The 41xx classes were originally three class types which were eventually standardised and treated as one. The Badminton class express passenger 4-4-0 steam locomotives were introduced in 1897 as a development from the earlier Duke class. The name Badminton was chosen after the Duke of Beaufort's Badminton estate, through which the GWR was building a new line to South Wales at the time. Further modifications to the design resulted in the Atbara Class entering service in 1900, the names for these locomotives generally being taken from contemporary military engagements senior army commanders or cities of the British Empire. The final batch of locomotives were named after varieties of garden plant and in consequence were known as the Flower Class. |
