When the GWR started to put Belpaire fireboxes on their 0-6-0 tank locomotives it seems that the saddle tanks they'd used up to that time were just too complicated to fabricate(1).
Many of the 2021 class were auto fitted, and two were even temporarily fitted with a dummy coach shell so that they looked more harmonious in the middle of their trailer cars.
GWR built in the twentieth century were the very small and light 1366 class and the very substantial 15xx.
In the early 1840s, the GWR shareholders encouraged the company to expand into other regions and the company made large investments in several other proposed connecting railways, subject to them being built to the broad gauge.
These amalgamations meant the GWR had almost as much standard gauge as broad gauge track, and the end of the broad gauge was contemplated.
A banking crisis in 1866 caused a period of financial difficulty for a few years and delayed plans to convert several broad gauge lines to mixed or standard gauge.
