EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR, we are transported back to 1971, where King George V stands proudly at Swindon Works. This iconic image showcases the majestic locomotive in all its glory, highlighting its distinctive double chimney. The King George V is a member of the renowned King Class, which epitomized power and elegance during the golden age of steam. Its imposing presence and intricate design make it a true masterpiece of engineering. The double chimney featured in this photograph was an innovative addition that enhanced both performance and efficiency. Swindon Works served as a hub for Great Western Railway's manufacturing and maintenance operations. It was here that skilled craftsmen meticulously crafted these magnificent locomotives, ensuring they were always in top-notch condition for their demanding journeys across Britain's rail network. This particular image captures not only the grandeur of King George V but also pays homage to the dedicated workers who brought these machines to life. Their expertise and craftsmanship shine through every detail visible in this photograph. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history frozen in time, we cannot help but feel awe-inspired by both the locomotive itself and those who contributed to its creation. It serves as a testament to an era when steam ruled supreme on our railways – an era forever etched into our collective memory thanks to photographs like these preserved at STEAM Museum of GWR.
