The Glasgow and South Western Railway 403 class, also called the Austrian Goods class, was a class of 2-6-0 steam locomotive designed by Peter Drummond, of which 11 were built in 1915 by the North British Locomotive Company at its Queens Park works. The nickname came from a rumour that they were built from materials gathered for a cancelled Austrian contract, which the article says is unfounded. They were a superheated development of the 279 class with a pony truck and proved free-running and economical in coal and water. They passed to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923 and were withdrawn and scrapped between 1935 and 1947.
