Bristol and Exeter Railway 0-6-0 locomotives

The Bristol and Exeter Railway 0-6-0 locomotives include three different types of broad gauge and standard gauge steam locomotives designed for working freight trains. On 1 January 1876 the Bristol and Exeter Railway was amalgamated with the Great Western Railway, after which the locomotives were given new numbers.
