EDITORS COMMENTS
Locomotive No. 40 North Star, captured in a stunning side view, is a testament to the grandeur and power of railway engineering during the golden age of steam. Part of the Great Western Railway's (GWR) Western Class 5MT 2-6-0 locomotives, North Star was built in 1951 at Swindon Works. This locomotive, with its distinctive curved cab and large chimney, was designed for heavy freight and passenger trains, making it a workhorse of the railway network. The North Star's nameplate, adorned with intricate details and the GWR crest, adds a touch of elegance to its robust design. The side view reveals the complex machinery that powered this locomotive, including the large cylinders, pistons, and connecting rods that transformed the energy from the fire into motion. The massive water tank and coal bunker at the rear of the engine were essential for its long-distance capabilities. The North Star's side view also highlights the intricate details of its exterior, including the number plates, nameplate, and various valves and pipes. The photo captures the intricate play of light and shadow on the engine's surface, emphasizing its textured appearance and the grit and determination of the railway workers who maintained and operated it. This photograph is a captivating reminder of the romance and engineering marvels of the steam railway era, a time when trains were the primary mode of long-distance transportation and the sight of a steam locomotive was a common occurrence on the railway lines. The North Star, with its powerful presence and unforgettable name, continues to inspire awe and admiration among railway enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
