The second rank of Great Western motive power – the mixed traffic engines if you like – was for years made up of the humble mogul, but this began to come to an end with the widespread use of the new Hall 4-6-0s. The Halls were Saints with wheels reduced from 6ft 8½in to 6ft but most proposals on the GWR went back decades and as far back as the turn of the century, years before even the Halls appeared, a version with even smaller wheels had been mooted. In the 1930s Collett decided to use some of the parts of older 2-6-0s, such as wheels, coupling rods and cab steps, in a class of 80 ‘different Halls’ – a new class called the Granges because of their 5ft 8in driving wheel diameter. The Granges and their smaller brethren, the Manors, were announced at the same time, as ‘the engines replacing the 2-6-0s’.

The daintiest and most specialised of the pannier tank hordes, including some specifically for passenger work. This brings to an end at last The Pannier Papers, the most exhaustive survey of the post-Grouping 0-6-0 tanks of the Great Western. There were more than 1,200 of them, and they’re all here!

No. 6 1366, 15XX

By Ian Sixsmith

These two classes of pannier, tiny numerically compared to the others dealt with in the Pannier Papers so far, were both hugely distinctive in their way. One was a barely altered derivative of a design first arrived at in the 1870s, in the days of Francis Trevithick. The other was the most advanced pannier tank ever built; huge and with modern motion and accessibility virtually unheard of on the GWR.

PLENTY OF PANNIERS!

Next off the stocks, after No.1 the 94XXs, comes (just to make it interesting):

THE PANNIER PAPERS No.5 - 16XX

The 16XXs were the smallest and prettiest of them all, Swindon's 'lightweight panniers' of 1949.

Publishing and marketing brilliance has resulted in these lovely 16XXs coming BEFORE the more familiar 57XX panniers, which in turn will come LATER THIS YEAR in THREE separate Pannier Papers. Here's the plan:

No.1 94XX

No.2 57XX (36XX, 37XX, 46XX) expected mid-2010

No.3 57XX (57XX, 67XX, 77XX) expected mid-2010

No.4 57XX (77XX, 96XX, 97XX) expected mid-2010

No.5 16XX

No.6 1366, 15XX (expected late 2010)

No.7 54XX, 64XX, 74XX (expected late 2010)

The vast army of modern (post Grouping) pannier tanks is thus dealt with over several volumes in a highly collectable series; a FINAL MODELLING ACCOMPANIMENT is also under preparation:
