Thunderer was the first of a pair of steam locomotives (the other being Hurricane) built for the Great Western Railway (GWR), England, by R. & W. Hawthorn & Co. whose design was very different from other locomotives. In order to meet Isambard Kingdom Brunel's strict specifications, an 0-4-0 frame carried the 'engine', while the boiler was on a separate six-wheeled frame. The driving wheels were geared 10:27 in order to reduce the cylinder stroke speed while allowing high track speed, in line with the specifications.

comment
  • Thunderer byla parní lokomotiva z roku 1838 další konstrukce stroje po Hurricanu, ve které bylo použito dělení pojezdu lokomotivy. Navíc zde bylo použito soustrojí s ozubenými koly, které mělo zajistit přenos síly na hnanou nápravu. Realizovaný převod měl 3× zvýšit otáčky hnané nápravy oproti otáčkám kola hnaného parním strojem v horní části pojezdu. Stroj byl používán krátce na Great Western Railway. Údajně byla stanovena rychlost stroje na 100 mil/hod ale toto není nijak podloženo a lokomotiva nedoznala úspěchu.

The locomotive was delivered to the GWR on 6 March 1838 and ceased work in December 1839 after running only 9,882 miles (15,904 km), but its boiler section was kept as a stationary boiler.
