The Kruger Class was a series of exceptionally imposing-looking (some might say ungainly) steam locomotives designed by William Dean and built at the Swindon Works of the Great Western Railway. They had outside frames to the six coupled driving wheels but inside frames for the leading wheels. A distinctive visual feature initially was a large saddle-shaped sandbox over the first ring of the boiler. The class had two prototypes: No. 2601 was a 4-6-0 while No. 2602 was a 2-6-0.
