The steam locomotive was one of history's greatest inventions and it revolutionised transport throughout the world. The Great Western Railway lived up to its name and was in the forefront of steam locomotive development throughout the first half of the 20th Century. Its legendary engineer George Jackson Churchward laid the foundations of the massive fleet of locomotives which his successors Collett and Hawkesworth built at the famous Swindon Works in Wiltshire. In this programme we see examples of the very many classes which pulled the trains of the GWR and its successors... - from the humble Pannier tanks which did the shunting and local passenger trains through the various freight classes to the glamorous named locomotives which hauled the express passenger trains - the much-loved Castles and Kings.
