The Hornby Dublo brand, then owned by Meccano Ltd, also built "Bristol Castle" (released 1957) for their three-rail system and "Cardiff Castle" for the two-rail system two years later; Wrenn continued the Hornby Dublo model when they took over the range. Collet also built or rebuilt the Vale Of Rheidol locomotives listed under Narrow gauge locomotives. Railway. Once the additions had been added a test run was carried out between Bristol and Swindon during which Manorbier Castle achieved a speed of 100mph, but the experiment did not have any lasting effect on GWR locomotive design and the additions were later removed.[12]. The Great Western Railway (GWR) 7800 Class or Manor Class is a class of 4-6-0 steam locomotive.They were designed as a lighter version of the Grange Class, giving them a wider Route Availability.Like the 'Granges', the 'Manors' used parts from the GWR 4300 Class Moguls but just on the first batch of twenty. A clear indication that the Class had set the standard four-cylinder design was the prototype itself, which would eventually be rebuilt into a Castle Class locomotive in 1929.

At least one of them was used on the Lambourn Valley Railway, probably because of its light axle load. They proved to be a successful design which handled the heaviest long distance express trains and established the design principles . The broad gauge locomotives were numbered in the series 2001 to 2095;[5] the standard gauge locomotives were numbered in the series 1353 1382. 1925 (4083 - 4092) to lot number 232, Collett further developed the 4-6-0 type as the ideal GWR express locomotive, extending the Stars into Castles in 1923, and then producing the largest of them all, the four-cylinder King class, in 1927. The railway was vested jointly between the Great Western Railway and the Midland Railway on 1 July 1894 .

The seven years before the outbreak of war in 1914 saw increases in the weights of main-line passenger trains made possible mostly by the introduction of the 'Stars', however, by the time C B Collett took over from Churchward at Swindon in 1921, holiday traffic from London to Devon and Cornwall was demanding heavier trains and the GWR management devoted proportionally more money and resources to West of England services from Paddington than to any other routes. This is a list of all GWR Hall Class engines built by the Great Western Railway.

The final batch were built in December 1947, and would be the final express locomotives built for the Great Western Railway, and as such were named after old Great Western engines, with the final engine named after the designer himself - with No.8016 christened as 'Great Britain'; No.8017 as 'Dreadnought'; No.8018 as Lord of the Isles . These were based on Robinson's GCR Class 8K. This reduction did not have any adverse effect on the steaming performance as it was normal practce to run with a deep fire built up in 'hay-cock' fashion, and rather than pure grate area, it was the ability to burn coal economically that gave the Great Western locomotives their qualities. Instructions were passed to Swindon Works to select a suitable locomotive and as 5005 Manorbier Castle was being prepared for test, additions were made to the locomotive to effect some streamlining. There follows a table giving the 27 numbers, names and the 'Loco Number for Scenario Editor', the latter being the code one has to enter to change the number and name.

Other innovations during Churchward's office included the introduction of self-propelled Steam Rail Motors for suburban and light branch line passenger trains. Built 1923-50 (173 built). Smaller 2-4-0s, such as the 439 class of 1868, worked slower passenger trains while 0-6-0s, such as the 388 class, continued to operate freight trains. Taken over July 1898.
