*'''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GWR_5700_Class GWR 5700 Class]''': Churchward was succeeded as CME in 1921 by Collett. He designed the most prolific class of GWR locomotive, the 0-6-0PT 'pannier tank' of which more than 860 were built between 1929 and 1950. Although nominally intended for shunting duties(which they carried out at [[Kidderminster mainline station#Goods yard|Kidderminster Goods Yard]] and elsewhere), they were regularly used on local freight and passenger workings in which capacity they served on the Branch until closure. Fittingly, on Sunday 8 September the final 6.58pm Bridgnorth to Birmingham Snow Hill train, normally a diesel railcar service, was hauled by ex-GWR pannier tanks 9624 and 4665 carrying a ‘Special Last Train’ headboard. Many examples are preserved including the SVR's [[5764]] and [[7714]].
