EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR, we are transported back in time to witness the remarkable era of railway transportation. The image showcases two skilled drivers, Ernie Simms and Brian Kervin, proudly posing on board diesel locomotive No. D7010, a magnificent D7000 Hymek class locomotive. As their confident gazes meet the camera lens, one can't help but admire the dedication and expertise these men possessed as they operated these powerful machines. Their uniforms speak volumes about their professionalism and commitment to ensuring safe journeys for passengers across the Great Western Railway network. The imposing presence of diesel locomotive No. D7010 is awe-inspiring; its sleek design and robust construction symbolize progress and innovation within the industry. This particular Hymek class locomotive played a vital role in revolutionizing rail travel during its heyday. This print serves as a poignant reminder of how technology has evolved over time while paying homage to those who dedicated their lives to keeping our railways running smoothly. It captures an important chapter in history when steam engines were gradually being replaced by more efficient diesel counterparts. Preserved at STEAM Museum, this snapshot allows us to appreciate not only the physical beauty of these impressive machines but also acknowledges the invaluable contributions made by individuals like Simms and Kervin towards shaping our modern transportation systems.
