EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable No. 207, a 12-ton, 6-wheeled travelling hand crane that was an integral part of the Swindon Works locomotive facility in 1936. The sheer size and intricate design of this magnificent machine are truly awe-inspiring. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the jib head, which proudly displays its platform attachment. This ingenious addition served a crucial purpose - examining tunnel roofs with utmost precision and efficiency. It's fascinating to imagine how this powerful crane would navigate through narrow tunnels, providing workers with a safe vantage point to inspect every nook and cranny. The attention to detail in constructing No. 207 is evident from its sturdy wheels and robust frame, ensuring stability during operation. Its imposing presence speaks volumes about the craftsmanship that went into creating such a marvel of engineering. As we gaze upon this historic artifact preserved at STEAM Museum of GWR, we can't help but be transported back in time when steam locomotives ruled the railways. This print serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and technological progress within the realm of transportation. No longer just an ordinary piece of machinery, No. 207 has become an emblematic symbol representing innovation and dedication exhibited by those who worked tirelessly at Swindon Works during its heyday.
