The G&SWR 5 Class were 0-6-0T steam locomotives designed by Peter Drummond for the Glasgow and South Western Railway (G&SWR) and introduced in 1917.[1] They were originally numbered 5, 7 and 9.
The class was originally designated 5 Class but, after the G&SWR's 1919 renumbering, this was changed to 322 Class and the locomotives were numbered 322-324
Ownership changes
All three locomotives passed to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) in 1923, and were numbered 16377-16379.[2] In 1934 the latter two were sold to Hatfield Colliery, where they became No. 5 and No. 7.[3] In 1947 they became the property of the National Coal Board, and the former 16379 was acquired by British Railways in 1963 for preservation. It was in Glasgow Museum of Transport until 2010 but has since been moved to the new Riverside Museum.
