This print showcases the majestic London & South Western Railway (LSWR) Locomotive No 148, Colne, accompanied by its tender. Steeped in history and power, this remarkable 2-4-0 steam locomotive was originally built as the Somerset & Dorset Railway No 12 by G England & Co in London back in 1863. A true testament to engineering brilliance, it was eventually sold to LSWR in 1877. Transporting us back to a bygone era of British rail travel, this image captures the essence of a time when steam locomotives ruled the tracks with their unrivaled strength and elegance. The intricate details of this magnificent machine are beautifully preserved through this photograph.
