In this photograph from the Steam Museum of the Great Western Railway (GWR), No. 6000 King George V, a majestic 4-6-0 King class locomotive, takes center stage suspended above two BR diesel locomotives, Nos. 08 036 and 08 675.

The King class locomotives, designed by Sir Charles Collett, were a testament to the GWR's engineering prowess and represented the pinnacle of steam locomotive technology during the interwar period.

This photograph is a testament to the rich railway heritage of Swindon Works and the GWR. It serves as a reminder of the ingenuity, craftsmanship, and passion that went into designing, building, and maintaining steam locomotives.
