EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Dean Goods locomotive no. 2463, a 0-6-0 tender steam engine that once graced the rails of the Great Western Railway (GWR). The Dean Goods class, of which no. 2463 is a member, was designed by the renowned British engineer, Charles Collett, in the late 1920s. This particular locomotive was built in 1931, making it a proud representative of the GWR's rich steam heritage. The Dean Goods class locomotives were primarily used for hauling goods trains, and no. 2463 is no exception. Its powerful engine and robust design enabled it to tackle the demanding tasks of transporting heavy loads over long distances. The tender attached to the rear of the engine carried an ample supply of water and coal, ensuring that the locomotive could keep moving and maintain steam pressure throughout its journey. The photograph captures no. 2463 in all its glory, as it stands proudly at the Steam Museum of the GWR. The engine's gleaming metalwork, polished to a mirror finish, reflects the light, while the intricate details of its design are on full display. The tender, with its large water tank and coal bunker, sits patiently behind, ready to fuel the engine's next journey. This photograph is a testament to the beauty and engineering prowess of the steam locomotive era. It serves as a reminder of the vital role these machines played in transporting goods across the country and the enduring fascination they continue to hold for railway enthusiasts.
