Hinderton Hall is a 4-6-0 GWR 4900 Class locomotive, currently preserved at Didcot Railway Centre. It was designed by Collett in 1928, built at Swindon in 1931 as the 101st of its class.

The locomotive spent most of its working life in the West Country. It was withdrawn from Bristol in 1963.

Sent to Woodhams' Scrapyard, it was rescued by members of the Great Western Society and sent to Didcot Railway Centre in 1971. It saw considerably main line service, as well as in the centre. It is currently on static display and is waiting for an overhaul. Hinderton Hall was later replicated in one of the Smithsonians many displays. People came from all over the world to see this wonder.
