The 6400 class of 0-6-0 Pannier Tank steam locomotive was designed by Collett and introduced in 1932. A total of forty (40) examples were built numbered from 6400 to 6439. The design was a modification of the 5400 class with smaller wheels and the locomotives were push and pull fitted.

They were not frequent visitors to Worcestershire. Three examples (Nos.6412, 6430 & 6435 survived into preservation.
