A third series of ten further locomotives appeared during 1909 (Swindon Lot 178), numbered 4021–4030 and named after British Kings. The framing for these had curved ends under the cab and over the cylinders. In June 1909, No. 4021 ''King Edward'' was built with a Swindon No. 3 superheater but the remainder had saturated steam boilers until 1910–13.<ref name=RCTS3>{{harvnb |le Fleming|1953 |p=H8}}</ref> ''King Edward'' notably hauled the [[funeral train]] for the [[funeral of King Edward VII]] on 20 May 1910; the mourners included nine kings and emperors, the largest number of crowned monarchs ever to travel in the same train.<ref>{{cite book |last=Maggs |first=Colin |date=2011 |title=The Branch Lines of Berkshire |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7E2IAwAAQBAJ&pg=PT10 |location=Stroud, Gloucestershire |publisher=Amberley Publishing |page=10 |isbn=978-1848683471 }}</ref> The class were all renamed during 1927 to allow for their names to be used on the new [[GWR 6000 Class|King Class]]. Instead, they were given names of a country followed by the word 'Monarch' (e.g. ''The Norwegian Monarch''). However, several of the names relating to enemy countries were removed during the [[Second World War]] (1940-1). They were all withdrawn between 1934 and 1952.
