The juxtaposition of No 1 with the majestic No 6001 King Edward VII adds an extra layer of historical significance to this image. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, one cannot help but marvel at the elegance and efficiency exuded by Diesel Railcar No 1. It stands proudly on the platform, ready to embark on its inaugural journey with confidence and poise.

It serves as a reminder of how technological advancements shaped our world and forever changed the way we travel. With every detail meticulously preserved within this print, it invites us to step into history itself—to experience firsthand what it was like during those early days when diesel locomotives began revolutionizing transportation across Britain's vast railway network.
