No. 9400 is a 9400 class 0-6-0 pannier tank steam locomotive that was built for the Great Western Railway (GWR) by Swindon Works in 1947. No. 9400 was one of the last batch of locomotives built at Swindon prior to nationalisation. It was initially allocated to Swindon shed where it remained working as a shunter until November 1955 when it was transferred to Old Oak Common.

No, 9400 was withdrawn from service in December 1959 and was selected for preservation to become part of the National Collection. It originally went on display in Swindon’s first GWR museum at Farrington Road but was later moved in 2000 to the Museum of the Great Western Railway, also known as Swindon Steam Railway Museum, in Swindon, England where it currently resides on static display.
