EDITORS COMMENTS

This photograph showcases No. 5527, a 2-6-2 Prairie Tank Locomotive from the 45xx class, proudly on display at the Steam Museum of the Great Western Railway (GWR). Built in 1928, this magnificent machine is a testament to the engineering prowess of the early 20th century. The 2-6-2 wheel arrangement, also known as the "Mikado" or "Prairie" type, was popular for its balance between power and maneuverability. The "Prairie" name came from the flat, wide cab design, which resembled the prairie landscape of North America. This particular locomotive, No. 5527, was built to serve the GWR's extensive network, pulling passenger and freight trains across the rugged terrain of the British Isles. The tank locomotive design, as seen in No. 5527, allowed for water to be carried in the tank between the wheels, reducing the need to stop frequently for water refills. This feature was particularly useful in the challenging conditions of the GWR's branch lines and mountainous regions. No. 5527's preservation and display at the Steam Museum of the GWR is a testament to the enduring appeal of steam locomotives. Visitors to the museum can marvel at the intricate details of this engineering marvel, learn about its history, and even take a ride on a steam train, experiencing the sights, sounds, and sensations of a bygone era. This photograph not only captures the essence of No. 5527 as a historic artifact but also serves as a reminder of the critical role steam locomotives played in shaping the transportation landscape of the 20th century.
