The Great Western Railway (GWR) 3100 Class was a class of 2-6-2T side tank steam locomotive.

History

This class of large prairie was created in 1938 when Collett rebuilt some of Churchward's 3150 Class with a view to using them as bankers, particularly from Severn Tunnel Junction shed. These engines used the standard class 4 boiler again, but pressed to {{convert|225|psi|abbr=on}}. and using smaller coupled wheels of {{convert|5|ft|3|in|3}} diameter, and {{convert|1/2|in|spell=in}} increase in cylinder diameter, nominal tractive effort rose to {{convert|31,170|lb}}. Almost impossible to pick out was a {{convert|2|in|mm|1|abbr=on}} reduction in pony truck wheel diameter to {{convert|3|ft|0|in|mm|0|abbr=on}}. Only five engines were ever modified, namely 3173, 3156, 3181, 3155 and 3179 which were rebuilt as 3100 to 3104 respectively. None of these were preserved.
