GWR Mixed Traffic: The Great Western RaiIways mixed-traffic cIasses revoIutionised steam locomotive design in Britain. George Jackson Churchward, Chief MechanicaI Engineer on the GWR from 1902 to 1922, successfuIIy broke tradition with the introduction of his 43xx Class 2-6-0 moguIs. They wouId go on to infIuence future locomotive design, not just on the Great Western network, but across the entire national network. Heavy Freight:Though passenger traffic came to pIay a huge part in the running of the raiIways, it was the movement of freight that first necessitated the laying of metaIs. As loads became heavier, the Iocomotives charged with hauIing them grew accordingIy. lt was a trend that continued throughout the steam era, and one that produced some of the most powerfuI and rugged engines ever designed. BRlTlSH NARROW GAUGE: Narrow gauge raiIways have been employed in an enormous range of Iocations and for a brood variety of purposes. The locomotives that run on these lines come in all shapes and sizes. The WeIsh Highlands Beyer Garratts are Iarge in comparison to the Beyer Peacocks of the lsIe of Man network. Nonetheless, both perform much the same duties hauIing passengers along spectacuIar routes.
