  6. The classification of some of these locomotives is questioned, as to whether they were the 4'6" wheeled Ada class, or the 4'9" wheeled Romulus class. See Dido class
  7. This was a class of six, built by the GWR as side tanks. Three were sold in 1872 to the South Devon and the Cornwall Railways (Bulkeley & Fowler). They returned to the GWR on amalgamation in 1876. All six were rebuilt as saddle tanks after 1883[19]
  8. A class of five, built by the GWR in 1852. Juno was sold to the South Devon in 1872[20]
  9. Previously named Juno, but renamed to avoid confusion with the Romulus class locomotive
