GWR 3700 Class 3440 City of Truro

The GWR 3700 Class steam locomotive No. 3440 ''City of Truro'' was built in 1903 for the Great Western Railway (GWR) at Swindon Works to a design by George Jackson Churchward. It was partially rebuilt in 1911 and 1915, and renumbered 3717 in 1912. Some consider the locomotive was the first to attain the speed of 100 miles per hour (160.9 km/h) during a run from Plymouth to London Paddington in 1904, a claim that has been the subject of debate.
==Construction and modifications==
The locomotive was the eighth of a batch of ten locomotives forming part of the GWR 3700 (or 'City') Class, and was delivered from Swindon Works in May 1903. All ten were named after cities on the GWR system; this batch was originally numbered 3433–42, ''City of Truro'' being 3440; like most GWR 4-4-0s, they were renumbered in December 1912, this batch becoming 3710–19 of which ''City of Truro'' became 3717. The locomotives were fitted with superheaters in 1910–12, ''City of Truro'' being so treated in September 1911. This changed its appearance quite noticeably, as it gained a longer smokebox. Most were later given piston valves instead of their original slide valves, ''City of Truro'' in November 1915.
