GWR Waverley Class
The Great Western Railway Waverley Class were 4-4-0 broad gauge steam locomotives for express passenger train work.
The class was introduced into service between February and June 1855, and withdrawn between February 1872 and November 1876. From about 1865, the Waverley Class was known as the Abbot Class.
The names are inspired by the Waverley novels of Sir Walter Scott.

Famous quotes containing the word class:
“The traveler to the United States will do well ... to prepare himself for the class-consciousness of the natives. This differs from the already familiar English version in being more extreme and based more firmly on the conviction that the class to which the speaker belongs is inherently superior to all others.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
