EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR, we are transported back to August 1934 in Reading. The image showcases an exciting excursion train bound for Huntley and Palmers, a renowned destination at that time. Standing tall and proud is locomotive No. 4937, affectionately known as Lanelay Hall. The scene exudes a sense of anticipation and adventure as passengers eagerly board the train, ready to embark on a memorable journey through picturesque landscapes. The steam billowing from the locomotive adds an element of drama to the composition, hinting at the power and excitement that awaits those fortunate enough to be part of this historic trip. Lanelay Hall stands as a symbol of engineering excellence and represents an era when steam trains were not just modes of transportation but also sources of wonderment and awe. Its sleek design evokes nostalgia for a bygone era when rail travel was synonymous with elegance and sophistication. This print serves as a window into history, capturing both the grandeur of Lanelay Hall and the spirit of adventure that permeated railway excursions during this period. It reminds us how railways played an integral role in connecting communities while providing unforgettable experiences for all who embarked on these remarkable journeys
