EDITORS COMMENTS
No. 5028 Llantilio Castle, a proud member of the Great Western Railway's (GWR) Castle Class locomotives, is captured outside Swindon Works in this evocative photograph. Built in 1934, this 4-6-0 steam engine is a testament to the engineering prowess of its time. Swindon Works, the largest railway works in the world during the early 20th century, played a pivotal role in the design, construction, and maintenance of the GWR's locomotive fleet. The works were renowned for their innovative approaches to engineering and design, and the Castle Class locomotives, with their distinctive casings and elegant lines, are a prime example of this. No. 5028 Llantilio Castle, named after a castle in Monmouthshire, Wales, was one of the last batches of Castle Class locomotives to be built before the end of steam traction on the GWR. The engine's powerful presence and distinctive appearance make it a popular subject among railway enthusiasts. This photograph captures the locomotive as it undergoes maintenance and repairs, a common sight at Swindon Works during the steam era. The engine's intricate details, from the large chimney stack to the ornate brass fittings, are on full display, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship that went into building these magnificent machines. The steam era may have come to an end, but the legacy of the Castle Class locomotives, including No. 5028 Llantilio Castle, lives on at the STEAM Museum of the Great Western Railway. Visitors can step back in time and experience the sights, sounds, and smells of a bygone era, as they explore the museum's extensive collection of steam engines and railway memorabilia.
