The GWR 4700 Class


The Night Owls - so-called because they specialised in fast night-time freights - were occasional visitors to Birkenhead sheds. John Dyer found No. 4701 there in March 1961. There were only nine class members of these Swindon-built, Churchward 7F 2-8-0s, of which I eventually caught up with five.
