EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR transports us back to a bygone era when steam locomotives ruled the rails. The image showcases the magnificent King George V, a member of the iconic King Class series, in all its regal splendor. Built in 1927 for Great Western Railway (GWR), this particular locomotive was named after King George V himself, honoring his reign as monarch. With its striking green livery and gleaming brass accents, it exudes an air of grandeur that befits royalty. The photograph captures King George V resplendent against a backdrop of billowing white steam. Its powerful presence is palpable as it stands tall and proud on the tracks. Every detail is meticulously preserved - from its majestic wheel arrangement to its ornate smokebox door adorned with intricate crests. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history frozen in time, we are reminded of the immense technological achievements during Britain's golden age of railways. The King Class locomotives were renowned for their exceptional performance and reliability, effortlessly pulling heavy trains across vast distances. This print serves as a testament to both engineering prowess and artistic beauty within our rich railway heritage. It allows us to appreciate not only the technical marvels but also evokes nostalgia for an era when these mighty machines symbolized progress and adventure
