The GWR 4500 class were 2-6-2 tank engines, categorised as ‘Small Prairies’ (from the American name for the wheel arrangement). Designed for passengers and freight, mostly on the branch lines. They were a development of the 4400 class of 1904, with larger driving wheels for a higher top speed. 75 were built between 1906 and 1924, remaining in service till 1964, with 3 being preserved.
The GWR 4575 class was Collett’s development, with 30% larger sloped side tanks. 100 were built between 1927 and 1929, remaining in service till 1964, with 11 being preserved.
Under BR, they began being withdrawn in 1956, with the last withdrawn in 1964.

The GWR 5100 class were 2-6-2 tank engines, categorised as ‘Large Prairies’ (from the American name for the wheel arrangement). Designed for passengers and freight, on the branch lines or suburban passenger services. 40 were built between 1903 and 1906 in this class. In total about 290 Large Prairies of various classes would be built.
