EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a dedicated team of Loco Staff from the Steam Museum of the Great Western Railway (GWR) meticulously clean the iconic No. 5029 Nunney Castle, a 4-6-0 Castle Class locomotive, built in 1934. The Castle Class was a popular and powerful design, originally intended for express passenger services on the GWR. The locomotive's name, Nunney Castle, is derived from the picturesque village of Nunney in Somerset, England. The staff members in this image work diligently, each with their specific tasks, ensuring every inch of the locomotive's exterior is spotless. One staff member carefully brushes away grime from the intricate details of the Castle Class's casing, while another polishes the gleaming brasswork. Another is seen filling a bucket with water from a nearby hose, ready to rinse down the locomotive's exterior. The atmosphere in the photograph is one of camaraderie and dedication, as the team works together to restore the locomotive to its former glory. The steam era comes alive as the team members bring the machine back to life, preparing it for the next excursion or demonstration for visitors to the museum. This image is a testament to the passion and commitment of the Loco Staff at the Steam Museum of the GWR, who work tirelessly to preserve and maintain these historic locomotives, allowing future generations to experience the magic of steam rail travel.
