Bristol and Exeter Railway locomotives

The Bristol and Exeter Railway in turn provided the broad gauge locomotive power on most of the railways with which it had junctions: The railway established workshops at Bristol Temple Meads railway station in September 1854, the site later being known as Bath Road.

He designed several classes of tank engines, including large 4-2-4T locomotives.

The Bristol and Exeter Railway operated 28 standard gauge locomotives, all of which became GWR property on 1 January 1876.

They were renumbered 1381/2 when acquired by the GWR, and following the conversion of the line to standard gauge in 1898, were sold in 1899.
