EDITORS COMMENTS

In this print from around 1905, we are transported back to the St Ives branch line of the Great Western Railway. The focal point is GWR tank number 34, a magnificent locomotive that exudes power and elegance. Surrounding it are four men who play their roles in keeping this mighty machine running smoothly. Two unnamed men stand proudly beside the engine, their presence a testament to their dedication and expertise. Charlie Gould, the fireman, stands confidently on the running plate while his colleague Nickie Curnow holds his feeder (oil can) nearby. Their hats perched atop heads adorned with impressive mustaches give them an air of authority. This Cornish scene showcases not only local pride but also highlights the importance of railways during this era. The Great Western Railway was known for its exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail when constructing locomotives like number 34. Originally built as a 0-4-2 saddle tank in Swindon in 1890, number 34 underwent alterations in 1895 to become a remarkable 0-4-4 side tank engine weighing an impressive 40 tons with an ample water capacity of 800 gallons. Although sold in 1908 and eventually finding her way to the Longmoor Military Railway where she carried the name "Longmoor" it is with great sadness that we learn about her fate - being cut up in1922. This print captures a moment frozen in time; it symbolizes both progress.
