GWR Hurricane locomotive

Hurricane was the second of a pair of steam locomotives (the other being "Thunderer") built for the Great Western Railway (GWR) by R. & W. Hawthorn & Co. whose design was very different from other locomotives. In order to meet Isambard Kingdom Brunel's strict specifications, a 2-2-2 frame carried the 'engine', while the boiler was on a separate six-wheeled frame.
The locomotive was delivered to the GWR on 6 October 1838 and ceased work in December 1839 after running for just 10,527 miles. After withdrawal the boiler was used on a new Pyracmon Class goods locomotive, "Bacchus".
