The GWR 2201 Class was a class of standard gauge 2-4-0 steam locomotive built at Swindon Works under the aegis of William Dean for express passenger service on the Great Western Railway. Built in 1881-2 they were numbered 2201-2220 and were in essentials 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.The 2201s were widely distributed over the GWR system.
