EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Locomotive No. 3079, Thunderbolt, a remarkable piece of engineering from the late 19th century. Belonging to the renowned 3031 or Achilles class, this 4-2-2 locomotive was an integral part of the impressive fleet introduced by William Dean between 1891 and 1899. With its sleek design and powerful presence, Thunderbolt epitomizes the golden age of steam locomotives. Built in 1899 with meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail, it served as a symbol of progress and innovation during its active years on the rails. Also known as Dean singles due to their single driving axle configuration, these locomotives were highly regarded for their speed and reliability. However, after more than a decade of dedicated service, Thunderbolt was withdrawn from operation in 1911. Now preserved at STEAM Museum of GWR (Great Western Railway), this extraordinary print allows us to marvel at the timeless beauty and historical significance of this iconic machine. The image captures every intricate detail - from its ornate brass fittings to its towering smokestack - transporting us back in time to an era when steam power ruled supreme. As we gaze upon Locomotive No. 3079's resplendent form through this photograph, we are reminded not only of its individual legacy but also that of countless other magnificent locomotives that once traversed our railway networks with grace and grandeur.
