The927 Class orCoal Goods was series of 20 0-6-0 freightsteam locomotives designed byJoseph Armstrong for theGreat Western Railway, and built atSwindon Works in 1874. They were numbered in the series 927–946.

The 927s were essentially a variant of Armstrong's ownStandard Goods (388) Class, with 4 ft 6 in (1,372 mm)driving wheels rather than 5 ft 0 in (1,524 mm) ones.^[1]

They were specifically designed for the heavy trains between Pontypool Road and the Mersey that conveyed Welsh steam coal to the transatlantic shipping lines. (Previous GWR classes used on this work were Daniel Gooch's79 Class 0-6-0s, and Gooch's later 0-6-0s built by Beyer, Peacock, the322 Class).

Most of the 927s were allocated to Birkenhead shed, and they were withdrawn between 1905 and 1928.^[2]
