EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the intricately detailed nameplate and build plate of No. 3440 City of Truro, a 4-4-0 City class locomotive, proudly displayed at the Steam Museum of the Great Western Railway (GWR). Built in 1903, this magnificent engine is a testament to the engineering prowess of the GWR during the early 20th century. The City of Truro, named after the historic city in Cornwall, is a fine example of the 133 City class locomotives that were built between 1902 and 1908. The 4-4-0 wheel arrangement, also known as the American type, was favored for its ability to provide ample power while maintaining good maneuverability. The nameplate, adorned with the elegant script "City of Truro," proudly announces the engine's name and its status as a member of the City class. The build plate, located beneath the nameplate, provides essential information about the engine's construction, including its builder, the year it was built, and its engine number. In this case, the plate reveals that the City of Truro was built by the renowned Swindon Works of the GWR in 1903, and it bears the engine number 3440. The City of Truro's preservation and display at the Steam Museum of the GWR is a testament to the enduring legacy of these magnificent engines. Visitors to the museum can marvel at the intricate details of the nameplate and build plate, as well as the engine itself, and gain a deeper appreciation for the engineering achievements of the past. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich railway history that the Steam Museum of the GWR preserves and shares with the world.
