The Great Western Railway (GWR) 6800 Class or Grange Class was a mixed traffic class of 4-6-0 steam locomotive. There were 80 in the class, all built at the Swindon works, using some reconditioned parts from withdrawn 4300 Class locomotives. The entire class was withdrawn from service between 1960 and 1965 and no examples were preserved. However, GWR N0 6880 'Betton Grange', the next Grange that was due to be built originally, is currently being built at Llangollen Railway. Please note: This locomotive has a 'Kingswood Boilers of Bristol' boiler not 'Western Boilers' as has been quoted on the Dreweatts website - printed catalogue is correct
