The GWR started designing and building 0-6-0 tank locomotives in 1860, [5] and this continued into the BR era until 1956, with a total of 2,393 being built. [6] The GWR also used 0-6-0 tank locomotives from other manufacturers' designs (from its subsidiary and absorbed railways' stock [7]), and since 1898 it always had at least 1,000 tank locomotives in stock.
