GWR No. 13

GWR No. 13 was an Experimental Well-Tank Engine (Later a saddle tank engine) designed by William Dean and it was built by the GWR's Swindon Works for the Great Western Railway.
== History ==
GWR Tank locomotive No. 13 first appeared in 1886 as a 2-4-2WT, or well tank. In this form it worked on the St Ives branch and also on the Watlington branch.
In 1897, it was rebuilt as a 4-4-0ST, or saddle tank. The large bunker and rear water tank were reduced in size. This allowed the rear carrying wheels to be removed, and a saddle tank fitted over the boiler. The frames were extended to allow the fitting of a bogie truck at the front. It continued to work on various branch lines, being loaned to the Liskeard and Looe Railway and later continuing to work on the Looe branch. It was also recorded on the Highworth and Brixham branches, and working in the Plymouth area, before finally moving to Swindon, from where it was withdrawn in 1926.
