EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Locomotive No. 3442, Bullfinch, a true gem from the Bird Class of locomotives that made its debut in 1909. With its striking design and powerful performance, this 4-4-0 engine was an evolution of the renowned Bulldog class, embodying both elegance and strength. Built with meticulous craftsmanship in 1909, Bullfinch quickly became a symbol of innovation and progress within the railway industry. Its sleek lines and robust construction were a testament to the engineering prowess of its time. For nearly four decades, Bullfinch gracefully traversed countless miles across Great Western Railway's vast network. However, as time passed and technology advanced further still, Bullfinch's reign eventually came to an end. In 1948, after serving faithfully for almost forty years on the rails, it was finally withdrawn from service. Yet even in retirement, this remarkable locomotive continued to captivate enthusiasts with its rich history and timeless beauty. Now preserved at STEAM Museum of GWR—a sanctuary dedicated to celebrating Britain's railway heritage—this print allows us to relish in Bullfinch's glory once more. The image captures every intricate detail: from its distinctive bird-inspired features that gave rise to its name "Bullfinch" to the impressive arrangement of wheels denoting its classification as a 4-4-0 engine. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time at STEAM Museum of GWR—an institution committed to preserving our railway legacy—we are reminded not only of how far we have come but also how these incredible machines shaped our past. This photograph serves as a poignant tribute to Locomotive No. 3442 Bullfinch—a true icon that will forever be etched into history books as one of Great Western Railway's most beloved birds
