EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR transports us back in time to an era when steam locomotives ruled the rails. The image showcases Castle Class locomotive No. 5028, fondly known as Llantilio Castle, standing proudly at Swindon Works. Built in May 1934, this magnificent machine was a true marvel of engineering and craftsmanship. Its sleek design and powerful presence made it a favorite among railway enthusiasts and engineers alike. For decades, Llantilio Castle faithfully served its purpose, pulling countless trains across the British countryside. However, like all good things, its reign eventually came to an end. In May 1960, after years of dedicated service, Llantilio Castle was withdrawn from active duty. Although no longer traversing the tracks with its signature grace and strength, this photograph immortalizes its legacy for generations to come. The attention to detail captured in this image is truly remarkable; every bolt and rivet can be seen with astonishing clarity. It serves as a testament not only to the skill of those who built these incredible machines but also to their enduring beauty. Whether you are a history buff or simply appreciate the elegance of vintage locomotives, this print is sure to captivate your imagination and transport you back in time to an era when steam power reigned supreme on Britain's railways
