What is the Great Western Railway Coat of Arms?
The Great Western Railway Coat of Arms was a logo that appeared on GWR rolling stock from 1927 to 1933 and then reappeared in 1942 until nationalisation in 1947.
The coat of arms replaced the previously used Garter Crest and features two shields located side by side representing London and Bristol. The coat of arms started to appear on locomotives in 1927 and coaches the following year, the coaches were also turned out in a slightly revised Chocolate and Cream livery around this time.
During the interim, the design was replaced with the GWR Roundel which featured the letters GWR encompassed by a circle.
