EDITORS COMMENTS
Locomotive No. 3818 County of Radnor, a majestic steam engine of the Great Western Railway (GWR), is depicted in this photograph. The locomotive, with its distinctive design and intricate details, was built in 1927 at Swindon Works, England, and was one of the last locomotives to be fitted with a Belpaire firebox. The County of Radnor was named after Radnorshire, a historic county in Wales, and was part of the GWR's County Class 5100. This class of locomotives was designed for express passenger and mixed traffic services, and the County of Radnor was known for its impressive power and efficiency. The photograph captures the locomotive in its element, surrounded by the misty landscape of a railway station. The steam billows from the chimney, creating a mystical atmosphere, while the engine's polished brass and gleaming metalwork gleam in the soft light. The locomotive's large driving wheels turn steadily, propelling it forward with a sense of purpose and determination. The County of Radnor was retired from service in 1962, but it remains a beloved icon of the railway era. This photograph is a testament to the beauty and power of steam locomotives, and a reminder of the golden age of rail transport. The intricate details of the engine, from the delicate etching on the boiler to the intricately designed wheels, are a marvel of engineering and design. This photograph is a must-have for any railway enthusiast or history buff, and a stunning addition to any home or office decor. The County of Radnor is a symbol of the rich history and heritage of the railway industry, and a reminder of the romance and adventure of the steam age.
