The GWR 2201 Class was a class of 4 ft 8+1⁄2 in (1,435 mm) standard gauge 2-4-0 steam locomotives built at Swindon Works under the aegis of William Dean for express passenger service on the Great Western Railway.[1] Built in 1881–82, they were numbered 2201 to 2220.
They were ssentially a continuation of Joseph Armstrong's 806 Class of 1873. They differed from the originals in having a cab and a domeless boiler from the start.[2]
