EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR, we are transported back in time to witness the majestic presence of a 47xx class locomotive. Proudly standing at an engine shed, possibly Old Oak Common, this magnificent 2-8-0 mixed traffic locomotive exudes power and elegance. Built in February 1922, No. 4702 showcases the remarkable craftsmanship that defined the Great Western Railway. Known affectionately as "Night Owls" these locomotives were renowned for their exceptional performance during nocturnal operations. With their distinctive silhouette and unwavering determination, they became synonymous with reliability and efficiency on both passenger and freight routes. The image captures every intricate detail of No. 4702's design - from its robust frame to its towering wheels - reminding us of a bygone era when steam engines ruled the railways. The atmosphere within the engine shed is palpable; one can almost hear the hissing steam and feel the anticipation before embarking on another arduous journey across Britain's vast network. This print serves as a poignant reminder of our rich railway heritage and pays homage to those who dedicated their lives to keeping these iron giants alive. It invites us to marvel at their engineering prowess while acknowledging their vital role in shaping transportation history.
