The Great Western Railway 6000 Class or King is a class of 4-6-0 steam locomotive designed for express passenger work. With the exception of one Pacific (The Great Bear) they were the largest locomotives the GWR built. They were named after kings of the United Kingdom and of England beginning with the reigning monarch King George V and going back through history.
