GWR 2-8-0 Maid of all work

Stanier was of course Swindon trained and the
similarities between his standards and the GWR
standards were very similar indeed.
 
 
Stanier however did not have the benefit of a railway
built for broad gauge reduced to standard gauge. The
GWR had and it was obvious in the size of outside
cylinders that could be used. Platform clearances
were far more generous.
