The Barry Railway Class G was a group of 0-4-4T steam tank locomotives built for the Barry Railway in South Wales. J. F. Hosgood designed them and they were built by both the Vulcan Foundry and Sharp Stewart, entering service in 1892. They began on the Barry to Cardiff suburban service and were then moved to passenger duties on the main line between Barry and Porth and on the service between Pontypridd Graig and Cardiff Clarence Road, once the Class J had taken over the Cardiff run. The company insisted that its passenger locomotives be smartly turned out, and the G class was no exception. They passed to the Great Western Railway in 1922 and were all scrapped by 1929.
