EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to a bygone era, where steam locomotives reigned supreme. Standing tall and proud is the magnificent County Class locomotive, No. 1010, known as the County of Caernarvon. This iconic engine was captured in 1963 at Hatton Bank on its journey along the Weymouth to Wolverhampton Express route. Built in January 1946, this majestic locomotive served faithfully for nearly two decades before being withdrawn from service in July 1964. Its sleek design and powerful presence made it a true symbol of British engineering prowess during that time. In this particular image, we witness No. 1010 gracefully chugging along with billowing clouds of steam trailing behind it. The lush green countryside serves as a picturesque backdrop for this impressive machine, showcasing both its raw power and elegance. The County of Caernarvon holds a special place in railway history and continues to captivate enthusiasts even today. This print allows us to appreciate not only its physical beauty but also provides a glimpse into an era when these iron horses ruled the tracks. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded of the rich heritage and legacy left behind by these extraordinary machines that once connected communities across Great Britain with their unwavering strength and reliability.
