Summary[edit]

Description
English: GWR Churchward "43XX" 2-6-0 No. 5322 on the Didcot shuttle. No.5322 is in WWI ROD (Railway Operating Division) khaki livery as carried when in service in France WWI (although the copper cap chimney and brass safety valve cover would surely have been painted over?). The "43XX" Class were inspired by American Moguls as Churchward was a friend of the Chief Engineer of the Pennsylvania Railroad as evidenced by the taper boiler, Beelpair firebox, American-type front end and (for it's day) high running plate. The design was arguably Britain's first proper mixed traffic engine and was highly successful, being powerful, fast and economical. At GWS Didcot Railway Centre, Armistice Day, 11 November 2008.
