EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the majestic essence of a bygone era, this vintage print showcases the iconic King Class locomotive, No. 6028, affectionately known as King Henry II. Taken at Old Oak Common circa 1935, this impressive steam engine stands tall and proud amidst its surroundings. With its distinctive 4-6-0 wheel arrangement and built in July 1930, it represents the epitome of British engineering excellence during the golden age of railways. The image exudes an air of nostalgia as we are transported back to a time when steam power ruled the tracks. The intricate details on the locomotive's exterior highlight both its grandeur and functionality - from its polished brass fittings to its powerful smokestack belching out plumes of white steam against a clear blue sky. It is worth noting that in 1937, this magnificent machine underwent a name change to honor another notable figure in British history - becoming King George VI. This alteration only adds to the historical significance captured within this photograph. Preserved with utmost care at STEAM Museum of GWR (Great Western Railway), this print serves as a testament to our rich railway heritage and reminds us of an era where these iron giants roamed freely across our nation's landscapes.
