This Great Northern Railway locomotive, designed by Ivatt and built by Sharp Stewart & Co, stands as a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of British engineering. Located in Greater Manchester's vibrant city of Manchester, specifically on Deansgate at the iconic Great Northern complex, it serves as a reminder of the railway's rich history. One notable creation is the Express Passenger Locomotive No 251, meticulously crafted by Mr H A Ivatt. This magnificent piece showcases his expertise as both a member of the Institution of Civil Engineers and Mechanical Engineers. Its vivid colors captured in a lithograph bring this masterpiece to life. Another gem from the Great Northern Railway collection is their East Coast Joint Stock First-Class Sleeping Carriage No 165. The lithograph portrays its elegance and luxury that once graced these railways during their prime. The railway faced all types of weather conditions throughout its existence. An engraving titled "Winter in the North" depicts a snowstorm near Dalnaspidal on the Great Northern Railway of Scotland. It highlights not only nature's power but also how this railway persevered through even harsh winters. Innovations were not limited to locomotives alone; dining cars played an essential role too. An engraving showcasing "The New Pullman Dining Car" demonstrates how comfort was brought onboard for passengers' culinary delights during their journeys. Historical events were no stranger to this remarkable railway either. From royal visits to grand openings, engravings capture moments like "The Royal Visit to Bradford" or "Opening of the Great Northern Railway. " These images provide glimpses into significant milestones etched within British history. Structures such as viaducts played an integral part in connecting various regions across London via rail travel. One such example can be seen in an engraving titled "Viaduct across the Great Northern Railway, " displaying architectural marvels that stood tall amidst bustling urban landscapes. Transporting goods was another crucial aspect of the Great Northern Railway's operations.
