		Britain used low intensity oil lamps and were not intended to allow the driver to see the way ahead (locomotive drivers were expected to have sufficient route knowledge) but were used to indicate the class of a train by their position on the front of the locomotive.
		On the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad two 2-10-2 locomotives were dismantled; the boilers were placed onto two new Class T4-8-2 locomotives and the residue wheel machinery made a pair of Class U 0-10-0 switchers with new boilers.
		These include the C38 class 4-6-2, the first five were build at Clyde with streamlining, the other 25 locomotives were built at Eveleigh (13) in Sydney, and Cardiff Workshops (12) near Newcastle.

		This class was designed under the direction of Charles B. Collett, partly as a response to the Great Western Railway's publicity department, in order to regain the 'most powerful steam locomotive in Britain' Title, which had been taken from Collett's GWR 4073 Class in 1926 by the Southern Railway's Lord Nelson Class.
		An iteresting fact is that although the railway claimed that the class was built in reponse to longer and heavier trains, It was several years after the introduction of the class before the platforms at the company's major stations were lengthened to accomodate these trains.
		The class was restricted to the London-Taunton-Plymouth and London-Birmingham-Wolverhampton main lines, and even then, only after bridge strengthenning had taken place, due to the engines' large boilers giving them and axle weighting of a massive 22.5 tons.
