GWR Banking Class
The Banking Class were five 0-6-0ST broad gauge steam locomotives for assisting ("banking") trains up inclines on the Great Western Railway. Designed by Daniel Gooch, they were tank engine versions of his Standard Goods class, and mainly built at Swindon Works.
The last one was withdrawn in 1889.
