Шаблон:Morefootnotes Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox locomotive The 69 Class designed by William Dean for the Great Western Railway consisted of eight Шаблон:Whyte tender locomotives, constructed at Swindon Works between 1895 and 1897. Nominally they were renewals of eight Шаблон:Whyte engines that carried the same numbers, these themselves having been renewals by George Armstrong at Wolverhampton of Шаблон:Whytes designed by Daniel Gooch as long ago as 1855.

In truth the Dean engines were in effect new engines, the only re-used parts being some recently fitted boilers of Swindon pattern. They had Шаблон:Convert driving wheels and Шаблон:Convert cylinders. Шаблон:Whytes, being mixed-traffic engines, were not usually named on the GWR, but all of the 69s did carry names, as follows:

  • 69 Avon
  • 70 Dart
  • 71 Dee
  • 72 Exe
  • 73 Isis
  • 74 Stour
  • 75 Teign
  • 76 Wye

The "Rivers" were originally allocated to Oxford, and later moved to the Bristol division. They were not long-lived as Шаблон:Whytes, the last being withdrawn in 1918.Шаблон:Sfn
