EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of elegance and power as No. 4095, Harlech Castle, a 4-6-0 Castle Class Locomotive built in 1926 by the Great Western Railway (GWR), effortlessly pulls the Torquay Pullman train past Twyford in 1930. The Castle Class locomotives, renowned for their distinctive casqued chimneys and large boilers, were designed for express passenger services, providing both speed and style. The Torquay Pullman, a luxurious train service, was a popular choice for travelers seeking comfort and relaxation during the interwar period. The Pullman cars, with their plush interiors and attendant service, offered a level of comfort unmatched by other trains of the time. As No. 4095 chugs along, its steam billowing from the chimney, the Torquay Pullman train glides smoothly past Twyford station, leaving behind a trail of steam and memories. The station, with its red-brick buildings and green surroundings, stands as a quaint reminder of the past, as the train continues on its journey towards the coast. The photograph not only showcases the engineering marvel of the Castle Class locomotive and the luxurious Pullman train but also transports us back in time to an era of elegance and sophistication in train travel. The scene is a testament to the romance of the rails and the enduring allure of steam trains that continue to captivate and inspire us even today.
