The Great Western Railway (GWR) Star Class of 2-2-2 broad gauge steam locomotives were used for passenger train work. Designed by Robert Stephenson, the class was introduced into service between November 1838 and November 1841, and withdrawn between April 1864 and September 1871. A total of twelve Star Class locomotives were manufactured. Notably, they were given the romantic or colloquial (rather than scientific) names of astronomical bodies. By the time the last had been delivered, GWR engineer Daniel Gooch had designed and taken delivery of several of his larger Firefly Class.

  • Die Klasse Star war eine Baureihe von Breitspur–Dampflokomotiven mit der Achsfolge 1A1 für Schnellzüge der Great Western Railway. Die Baureihe Star wurde mit 12 Exemplaren auf Veranlassung von Sir Daniel Gooch von Robert Stephenson für die Great Western Railway zwischen 1838 und 1842 geliefert. Sie war der Vorläufer und Vorbild für die von Gooch selbst entworfene GWR-Klasse Firefly. Die Außerdienststellung der ganzen Serie erfolgte zwischen April 1864 und September 1871. Eine 1923 gefertigte Replik ist im aufgestellt. (de)
