EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1950, offering a rare glimpse into the inner workings of Swindon Works Weighbridge at the STEAM Museum of the GWR. The image showcases an internal view that highlights the impressive presence of the large Pooley scales, which were undoubtedly essential in accurately weighing heavy loads during this era. The photograph transports us to a time when precision and meticulousness were paramount in every aspect of railway operations. The sheer size and robustness of these Pooley scales are awe-inspiring, serving as a testament to their importance within Swindon Works. It is fascinating to imagine how countless locomotives and carriages would have been meticulously weighed on these very scales before embarking on their journeys across Britain's vast rail network. The composition beautifully captures not only the grandeur of these historic weighing instruments but also offers glimpses into other elements surrounding them.
