==Atbara class== No. 3373 ''Atbara'' was built in April 1900, the first of a class of forty locomotives.<ref name=OSNb88>{{harvnb |Nock |1978 |p=88}}</ref> Instead of the curved outside frames of the Badmintons, this class had straight-topped frames, which became the standard pattern for all subsequent outside-framed 4-4-0s.<ref name=OSNa43>{{harvnb |Nock |1977 |p=43}}</ref> These straight frames were less prone to fracturing, because of the greater depth of plate between the coupled wheels.<ref name=Hol68/> The Atbaras retained the Stroudley crank layout, cylinders, valves and valve gear of the Badmintons, but differed in the boiler, which was a parallel domeless Standard No. 2 type.<ref name=OSNa45>{{harvnb |Nock |1977 |p=45}}</ref><ref name=OSNa94>{{harvnb |Nock |1977 |p=94}}</ref> No. 3405 ''Mauritius'' was reboilered in September 1902 with a tapered boiler, a prototype for the Standard No. 4 type.<ref name=OSNa58>{{harvnb |Nock |1977 |p=58}}</ref> It was the first GWR 4-4-0 to be fitted with a tapered (or coned) boiler.<ref name=OSNa57>{{harvnb |Nock |1977 |p=57}}</ref> Following this, another nine Atbaras, nos. 3400 to 3404 and 3406 to 3409, were rebuilt with No. 4 boilers between February 1907 and February 1909. The ten were added to the [[GWR 3700 Class|City Class]].<ref name="OSNb88"/><ref name=OSNb39>{{harvnb |Nock |1978 |p=39}}</ref> No. 3382 ''Mafeking'' was heavily damaged in an accident that occurred just after midnight on 25 June 1911 at {{stnlnk|Henley-in-Arden}}. Adjudged unrepairable, it was withdrawn in September 1911, so was not included in the 1912 renumbering.<ref name=Ferris>{{cite web|last=Ferris|first=Robert|title=Henley in Arden accident|url=http://www.warwickshirerailways.com/gwr/gwrha759.htm|publisher=Warwickshire Railways|access-date=12 October 2012}}</ref> The remaining Atbaras were withdrawn between April 1927 and May 1931.<ref name=OSNb88/> [[File:3373 Atbara in Royal Sovereign livery.png|thumb|Atbara Class locomotive no. 3373, in Royal Sovereign livery, on February 2, 1901.]] {| class=wikitable !colspan=2 align=center|Numbers !colspan=3|Names |- !width="90" align=center|First !width="90" align=center|Second (1912) !width="110" align=center|First !width="110" align=center|Second !width="110" align=center|Third |- |align=center|3373 |align=center|4120 |[[Battle of Atbara|Atbara]] |- |align=center|3374 |align=center|4121 |[[Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell|Baden Powell]] |- |align=center|3375 |align=center|4122 |[[Conqueror (locomotive)|Conqueror]] |[[William Edgcumbe, 4th Earl of Mount Edgcumbe|Edgcumbe]] |[[William Edgcumbe, 4th Earl of Mount Edgcumbe|Colonel Edgcumbe]] |- |align=center|3376 |align=center|4123 |[[Lord Herschell|Herschell]] |''Name removed in 1914'' |- |align=center|3377 |align=center|4124 |[[Horatio Kitchener|Kitchener]] |- |align=center|3378 |align=center|4125 |[[Khartoum]] |- |align=center|3379 |align=center|4126 |[[Kimberley, Northern Cape|Kimberley]] <!-- Boer War, therefore Kimberley, South Africa --> |- |align=center|3380 |align=center|4127 |[[Siege of Ladysmith|Ladysmith]] |- |align=center|3381 |align=center|4128 |[[RFA Maine (1887)|Maine]] |- |align=center|3382 |align=center|Withdrawn |[[Siege of Mafeking|Mafeking]] |- |align=center|3383 |align=center|4129 |[[Robert Kekewich|Kekewich]] |- |align=center|3384 |align=center|4130 |[[Battle of Omdurman|Omdurman]] |- |align=center|3385 |align=center|4131 |[[HMS Powerful (1895)|Powerful]] |- |align=center|3386 |align=center|4132 |[[Pembroke, Pembrokeshire|Pembroke]] |''Name removed in 1930'' |- |align=center|3387 |align=center|4133 |[[Frederick Roberts, 1st Earl Roberts|Roberts]] |- |align=center|3388 |align=center|4134 |[[Redvers Buller|Sir Redvers]] |- |align=center|3389 |align=center|4135 |[[Daniel Gooch|Sir Daniel]] |[[Pretoria]] |- |align=center|3390 |align=center|4136 |[[HMS Terrible (1895)|Terrible]] |- |align=center|3391 |align=center|4137 |[[Garnet Wolseley, 1st Viscount Wolseley|Wolseley]] |- |align=center|3392 |align=center|4138 |[[George White (British Army officer)|White]] |- |align=center|3393 |align=center|4139 |[[Auckland]] |- |align=center|3394 |align=center|4140 |[[Adelaide]] |''Name removed in 1910'' |- |align=center|3395 |align=center|4141 |[[Aden]] |- |align=center|3396 |align=center|4142 |[[Brisbane]] |- |align=center|3397 |align=center|4143 |[[Cape Town]] |- |align=center|3398 |align=center|4144 |[[Colombo]] |- |align=center|3399 |align=center|4145 |[[Dunedin]] |- |align=center|3400 |align=center|[[GWR 3700 Class|City]] 3700 |[[Durban]] |- |align=center|3401 |align=center|[[GWR 3700 Class|City]] 3701 |[[Gibraltar]] |- |align=center|3402 |align=center|[[GWR 3700 Class|City]] 3702 |[[City of Halifax|Halifax]] |- |align=center|3403 |align=center|[[GWR 3700 Class|City]] 3703 |[[Hobart]] |- |align=center|3404 |align=center|[[GWR 3700 Class|City]] 3704 |[[Lyttelton, New Zealand|Lyttelton]] |- |align=center|3405 |align=center|[[GWR 3700 Class|City]] 3705 |[[Mauritius]] |- |align=center|3406 |align=center|[[GWR 3700 Class|City]] 3706 |[[Melbourne]] |- |align=center|3407 |align=center|[[GWR 3700 Class|City]] 3707 |[[Malta]] |- |align=center|3408 |align=center|[[GWR 3700 Class|City]] 3708 |[[Killarney]] |- |align=center|3409 |align=center|[[GWR 3700 Class|City]] 3709 |[[Quebec]] |- |align=center|3410 |align=center|4146 |[[Sydney]] |- |align=center|3411 |align=center|4147 |[[St John's, Newfoundland|St. Johns]] |- |align=center|3412 |align=center|4148 |[[Singapore]] |- |}
