The popular '94XX' Class 0-6-0 pannier tank was effectively the last GWR steam locomotive; the first ten were turned out in the company's Middle Chrome Green by Swindon before nationalisation. The remaining 200 were built for BR in unlined black livery by outside contractors Robert Stephenson, Yorkshire Engine Co. and W.G Bagnall between 1949 and 1956, with minor detail differences. All were capable of steam heating coaching stock.

They were a development of the numerous '57XX/ 8750' Class, designed for secondary mixed traffic and shunting duties, with an instruction from the GWR's General Manager, Sir James Milne, that they should be of more modern appearance than the traditional GW pannier tank. Withdrawals began in 1959 with the final survivor remaining in traffic into 1965, and as a result only a limited number of the class received the BR late crest.

Two locomotives have been preserved, one of which, No. 9400, is part of the National Collection.
