	Great Western steam locomotives, 'Atbara' class
		The name of 'Atbara' for the class was due to the Boer war being fought in South Africa when the class was first built, therefore it was thought "proper" to the use the names which were so much in the public eye.
		The first 'Atbara' withdrawn was number 3382 Mafeking which was scrapped in September 1911 after a severe accident at Henley-in-Arden.
		When 4-6-0 express passenger locomotive construction resumed in 1922, the 'Atbaras' at first were relegated to stopping train workings, but eventually the class became surplus to requirements and withdrawals began in April 1927 with number 4125 (ex 3378) Khartoum.
