The SVR’s [[GWR 4930 Hagley Hall | 4930 Hagley Hall]] is an example of the original Collett design of the successful 4900 Hall Class mixed traffic locomotive. In 1944 F.W. Hawksworth, Collett’s successor as GWR Chief Mechanical Engineer, introduced a modified version of the Hall with improved cylinder steam passages, a longer wheelbase with extended main frames, and a re-designed bogie.
