==1450 in service==
1450 is a GWR 14xx class 0-64-2T locomotive. These locomotives were designed to work on small branch lines and most were equipped from new to work with autocoaches. When first built at Swindon they were numbered in the 48xx series, and this locomotive first entered service in 1935 as No. 4850.
In 1946 the GWR decided to reallocate the 14xx numbers to a different class of locomotives and 4850 was renumbered 1450. Following nationalisation BR rated the class 1P. 1450 was finally withdrawn from service by BR in May 1965 after a working life totalling 823,012 miles.
