EDITORS COMMENTS
No. 4077 Chepstow Castle, a magnificent 4-6-0 Castle Class locomotive built by the Great Western Railway (GWR) in 1924, is captured in this stunning photograph at the STEAM - Museum of the Great Western Railway. This iconic engine, named after the historic castle in Gloucestershire, England, is a testament to the engineering prowess of the GWR during the early 20th century. The Castle Class locomotives, designed by Charles Collett, were introduced between 1923 and 1927, and were renowned for their power, efficiency, and distinctive appearance. No. 4077, with its elegant lines and intricate detailing, epitomizes the elegance and sophistication of the era. The photograph captures the locomotive in all its glory, with its polished brass fittings gleaming in the sunlight, and its coal and water tanks fully loaded, ready for the next journey. The steam rising from the chimney adds a sense of motion and energy, while the lush green landscape in the background provides a picturesque backdrop. No. 4077 Chepstow Castle was withdrawn from service in 1965, but was preserved for posterity and is now a cherished exhibit at the STEAM Museum. This photograph is a reminder of the golden age of steam rail travel and the enduring appeal of these magnificent machines.
