[[File:Lode Star GWR 4-6-0.JPG|thumb|First series No. 4003 Lode Star, at [[Tyseley Locomotive Works]]]]
The first series of ten locomotives were built at Swindon in 1907 (Lot 168) numbered 4001–4010 and named after well-known Stars, perpetuating the names of the earlier broad gauge [[GWR Star Class]] of 1838.<ref name=RCTS2 /> All except for No. 4010 Western Star were built without [[superheater]]s. No. 4010 received a 'Swindon No. 1' superheater and the remainder received superheated boilers between August 1909 and October 1912. No. 4009 Shooting Star was rebuilt as a member of the Castle Class in April 1925. The surviving members of the series were withdrawn 1932–1951, although No. 4003 ''Lode Star'' was preserved.
