The GWR 2201 Class was a class of 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm) standard gauge 2-4-0 steam locomotives built at Swindon Works under the aegis of William Dean for express passenger service on the Great Western Railway.^[1] Built in 1881–82, they were numbered 2201 to 2220.

Design

They were, in essentials, a continuation of Joseph Armstrong's 806 Class of 1873. They differed from the originals in having a cab and a domeless boiler from the start.^[2]

Use

The 2201s were widely distributed over the GWR system. Members of the class were in use on the Didcot, Newbury and Southampton Railway around 1910.^[3] They were all withdrawn by the end of 1921.
