gwr-4700-class

The GWR 4700 Class is covered in the main GWR 47xx Class entry — Churchward's 2-8-0 heavy mineral and express goods locomotive. The 4700 Class entry in this database is a variant reference to the same GWR 47xx heavy goods class. One new-build example, No. 4709, is under construction by a heritage railway project as a new-build replica of the 47xx design. See the GWR 47xx Class entry for full details.
