Atbara class engine No. 3373 Atbara

The Great Western Railway Badminton, Atbara and Flower Class express passenger 4-4-0 steam locomotives. These three types were later standardised and treated as a single class, so are listed together here.

This class were subject to the 1912 renumbering of GWR 4-4-0 locomotives, which saw the Bulldog Class gathered together in the series 3300-3455, and other types renumbered out of that series. This class took numbers 4100-4172 (of which numbers 4101-4120 had previously been used by Flower Class locomotives).
