EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the majesty and power of King Class Locomotive No. 6029, affectionately known as "King Stephen," as it proudly stands at the Steam Museum of the Great Western Railway. Built in 1930, this 4-6-0 type locomotive was the last of its kind to roll off the production line. With its distinctive design and impressive specifications, the King Class locomotives were a testament to the engineering prowess of the era. At the time of its construction, No. 6029 was named "King Stephen" in honor of King George V's grandson, who would later become King Edward VIII. However, when Edward VIII abdicated the throne in 1936, the locomotive was quickly renamed to reflect the new monarch, becoming "King Edward VIII." Despite its royal namesake, this locomotive was not built for commercial use, but rather for the prestige and pride of the Great Western Railway. Its powerful engine and sleek lines were a sight to behold on the rails, as it effortlessly pulled heavy trains through the English countryside. As you gaze at this photograph, imagine the roar of the engine as it chugs along, the steam billowing from its stack, and the sense of awe and wonder that would have accompanied the sight of this magnificent machine in its prime. Today, No. 6029 is a cherished reminder of a bygone era, preserved for future generations to appreciate the ingenuity and passion that went into creating such engineering marvels.
