Aptly described as the GWR equivalent of the LBS&CR "Terrier" Class of William Stroudley, their wide availability and lively performance gave them long lives, and eventually they were replaced from 1949 by what were in essence very similar locomotives, the short-lived 1600 Class of Frederick Hawksworth, which in the headlong abandonment of steam outlived them by a mere seven years or so. ConstructionThe 850 Class originally consisted of 50 locomotives comprising 48 new and two rebuilds. The rebuilds, Nos. 93 and 94, were supplied in 1875 and 1877 as renewals of the original Gooch locomotives of 1860. Later, as locomotives were rebuilt, the 120 locomotives of the 1901 class were incorporated into the 850 class to make a total of 170 locomotives. It has been claimed [1] that nos. 1216-1227 were part of the 1901 class but this seems unlikely because they were built before the 1901 class was introduced.
ModificationsThe original 36 locomotives had their domes on the firebox, while the domes of the rest were on the middle of the boiler. The two classes became more uniform on rebuilding. All had full-length saddle-tanks; the wheels were {{convert|4|ft|0|in|3|abbr=on}} diameter, the wheelbase was {{convert|13|ft|8|in|2|abbr=on}}, and cylinders {{convert|15|x|24|in|0|abbr=on}}. They had inside frames. Pannier tanks were fitted from 1910, as rebuilding with Belpaire boilers took place, and from 1924 larger coal bunkers were fitted to many of the class. Seventeen locomotives retained their saddle tanks to the end. These were Nos. 855, 864, 873, 990, 991, 1216, 1904, 1913, 1925, 1932, 1933, 1939, 1944, 1963, 1981, 1984, & 2007.{{sfn|le Fleming|1958|pp=E47-E50}} UseThe engines were widely spread over the GWR network. They were useful for shunting in dock areas, as at Plymouth, Bristol, Llanelly, and Birkenhead, which was their last stronghold; in 1881-2 four went new to the Cornwall Minerals Railway. In 1906 and 1913 four were sold into industrial service, followed by four more in 1939. Up to 1927 the class were used on empty stock work at Paddington. British RailwaysOne 850 class (no. 992) and 43 former 1901 class locomotives passed into British Railways (BR) ownership in 1948 and were given the power classication "2F". According to Ian Allan, BR called them 1901 class (including no. 992). Ten were painted in BR unlined black, and the last examples survived as late as 1958, the last Armstrong engines in service.{{sfn|le Fleming|1958|pp=E43-E50}} Only three unconverted saddle tanks survived into nationalisation.[2] Of these two were from the 850 class, Nos. 1925 and 2007, which were withdrawn in 1951 and 1949.{{sfn|le Fleming|1958|pp=E48 & E50}} The other was GWR 2021 Class No. 2048 which was rebuilt as a pannier tank locomotive shortly after nationalisation and scrapped in 1952.{{sfn|le Fleming|1958|pp=E54}} Locomotive 1925 featured in the 1949 movie The Chiltern Hundreds when it is seen arriving with a train at Denham station.
