Description:Locomotive No. 6721 is featured on the front of this publicity card published by W. G. Bagnall Ltd., Castle Engine Works, Stafford.

At this time there was a government initiative which led to sub-contract building of Great Western Railway (GWR) designed steam locomotives to commercial locomotive builders. A batch of twenty five Class 5720 locomotives was outsourced to W.G. Bagnall (GWR numbers 6700-6724) in 1930. Painted in GWR's 'works grey', this 0-6-0 pannier tank locomotive was designed for light goods work and shunting. No. 6721 was withdrawn from service in 1959.
