Class 4700 was a 4-8-4 steam locomotive built by Ku-ngwyan Locomotive Works for Themiclesian & Great Northwestern between 1944 and 1956 and thereby operated until 1966. They were prominently used during the Pan-Septentrion War to service both Hallian and Themiclesian forces in Hemithea, running as far as western Menghe and eastern Maverica.
