GWR 1000 Class 1014 County of Glamorgan

No.1014 County of Glamorgan is a project to construct a new build steam locomotive replica of a member of Frederick Hawksworth's Great Western Railway 1000 or "County" Class based at Didcot Railway Centre in Didcot, Oxfordshire. The "County" class were built for use on the Great Western Railway between 1945 and 1947, but all were withdrawn and scrapped in the early 1960s. The project was launched in 2005 with parts from an original Modified Hall No. 7927 Willington Hall and a LMS Stanier Class 8F being utilised in its construction. The project is building a replica of a specific locomotive, 1014 County of Glamorgan which was built in 1946 and scrapped in 1964.
