The GWR 2201 Class was a class of standard gauge 2-4-0 steam locomotive built at Swindon Works under the aegis of William Dean for express passenger service on the Great Western Railway.[1] Built in 1881-2, they were numbered 2201-2220.

Design
They were, in essentials, a continuation of Joseph Armstrong's 806 Class of 1873. They differed from the originals in having a cab and a domeless boiler from the start.[2]
Use
The 2201s were widely distributed over the GWR system. Members of the class were in use on the Didcot, Newbury and Southampton Railway around 1910.[3] They were all withdrawn by the end of 1921.
