Standing proudly on a plinth within A Shop, we see an elegant 2-2-2 broad gauge locomotive known as North Star. This magnificent steam engine exudes timeless beauty and serves as a testament to the incredible craftsmanship of its time. The foreground reveals another intriguing detail - a pair of driving wheels belonging to the legendary Lord of the Isles. These wheels, with their intricate design and robust construction, symbolize the power and innovation that propelled Great Western Railway forward during its golden era. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, our imagination is transported back to an era when these mighty machines ruled the rails.
