The Great Western Railway 3000 Class was a class of 2-8-0 steam locomotive made up of the former Railway Operating Division ROD 2-8-0 engines, which were built by the North British Locomotive Company between 1917 and 1918. The railway borrowed several of them during the First World War and returned them, then in 1919 bought 20 virtually new engines and numbered them 3000 to 3019. It hired a further 84 in July 1919, which went back in October 1922, and in 1925 bought 80 engines, including some previously hired, numbering them 3020 to 3099. No example has been preserved, and the last were withdrawn in 1958.
