		The turn-of-the-century Great Western Railway was powered by the locomotives of Dean, characterised by their late Victorian robustness, inside cylinders and double frames.
		The locomotive was used to great effect in the Welsh valleys, and helped standardise the variable nature of the fleets of the old railway companies, often worse for wear.

		From charts supplied by his GWR opposite number, Mr Nicholls, Stemp saw that the GWR 2-8-0 regularly took 28 loaded wagons over the 9 miles 22 chains between Lostwithiel and Doublebois, where the ruling gradient was 1 in 58, in 29 minutes.
		Chapter 1 may be devoted to The Great Bear, but Allen was far from enthusiastic: "The Great Bear was one of the very few locomotive types that Swindon has produced, and in particular among Churchward designs, to which the word 'failure' could be applied.".
		It was also handicapped by the great length of the boiler barrel, as in the absence of a combustion chamber the tubes were unduly long in relation to their diameter and so steaming was not as free as it should have been.

	Charles Benjamin Collett & F.W. Hawksworth
		Considering this hostile move it is tempting to wonder whether Collett had been castigated for scrapping The Great Bear and had been directly instrumental in arranging the locomotive exchange in 1925 before the LNER had time to introduce improvements to the valve gear on the A1.
		The performance of the A1 on the Great Western frequently out-classed that of the Castle, but was partly hindered by the poor quality of the GWR permanent way.
		He joined the GWR as an apprentice at Swindon in 1898 and was appointed draughtsman in 1905 when he worked on Churchward's Pacific The Great Bear.

		Churchward was constantly searching for improvements and innovation in his designs, and arguably by the early 1920s the Great Western‘s 2-cylinder and 4-cylinder 4-6-0 designs were substantially superior to the locomotives of the other railway groupings.
		However, there was also a disparate stable of locomotives from the pre-grouping railways at the GWR‘s disposal, and as with the other big four railways Collett had the task of rationalising the fleet.
		Collett therefore applied a pragmatic, economist‘s approach to the design of the Great Western‘s next generation of motive power, adapting and enlarging Churchward‘s earlier 2-cylinder and 4-cylinder designs, developing the Castles from the Stars and the Halls‘from the Saints.
