To replace some of these earlier locomotives, Armstrong put broad gauge wheels on his standard gauge 1076 Class and from this time on GWR locomotives were given numbers rather than the names that had been carried by broad gauge locomotives up till then. As a result the marketing-conscious GWR hierarchy may have felt that it was slipping behind in the publicity stakes, hence two locomotives - 'Castle' class 5005 Manorbier Castle and 'King' class 6014 King Henry V11 - were nominated to receive streamlining treatment; this included a bullnose casing on the smokebox door, cowlings to the rear of .

The 4200 class was a tank version of the 2800 class, but a demand for small locomotives for working on dock and branch lines was met by the 1361 class, a new design based on the old Cornwall Minerals Railway 0-6-0ST design but using as many of Churchward's standard parts as possible.[14].
