Composite Third No. 1116 at the Severn Valley Railway in September 2013 © Geof Sheppard
With costs rising and revenues falling, General Manager Sir Felix Pole had told Chief Mechanical Engineer Charles Collett to develop more powerful economic designs in the 1930s. Collett followed the same philosophy in his carriage design, improving or adapting as opposed to innovating. From 1936 onwards, all new GWR main line stock had large windows to each compartment and entry-exit via the corridor and end vestibules, but it had taken Collett six years to do what the LMS and LNER had been doing since 1930.
