The Great Western Railway Premier Class 0-6-0 broad gauge steam locomotives for goods train work. This class was introduced into service between February 1846 and May 1847, and withdrawn between March 1866 and June 1872.
These were the first locomotives built at Swindon railway works,[1] albeit with boilers supplied to the company. They were larger than the existing Hercules Class but still with haycock fireboxes. Just six months after the last one left Swindon, production of the even larger Pyracmon Class had started.
From about 1865, the Premier Class locomotives became part of the Fury Class, along with the Hercules Class locomotives.
