EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Six Wheeled Siphon, a low roof milk van with the identification number 1654. Built according to diagram O4, this vintage beauty was an integral part of the Great Western Railway (GWR) fleet. The STEAM Museum proudly preserves and displays this piece of history for all to admire. The image captures the essence of a bygone era when these siphons were essential in transporting fresh milk across vast distances. With its sleek design and six sturdy wheels, this particular model exemplifies GWR's commitment to innovation and efficiency. The low roof adds a touch of uniqueness to this milk van, distinguishing it from other vehicles in its class. Its purposeful construction ensured that delicate cargo like milk bottles remained secure during transit, safeguarding their contents until they reached their destination. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported back in time; imagining bustling railway stations filled with workers loading crates onto these iconic vans. This print serves as a testament to the dedication and craftsmanship that went into creating such reliable transportation solutions for perishable goods. At STEAM Museum, visitors can explore not only the physicality of these impressive machines but also delve into their historical significance within Britain's rich industrial heritage. It is through exhibits like this one that we gain insight into how our ancestors ingeniously solved logistical challenges while ensuring people had access to fresh dairy products throughout the country.
