EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1938, we are transported back in time to the bustling No 24 Shop at the Paint Stores of the Great Western Railway (GWR). This historical snapshot offers a glimpse into the meticulous process of paint mixing during that era. The image showcases a skilled worker engrossed in his task, drawing off and straining paint from one of the heavy-duty mixing machines. His focused expression reflects both concentration and expertise as he carefully handles each step of this intricate procedure. The vibrant colors surrounding him hint at the countless possibilities awaiting these freshly mixed paints. Located within GWR's carriage works, this workshop was not just any ordinary paint store; it was a hub where creativity met precision. The significance of such an establishment cannot be understated, as its output played an essential role in maintaining and beautifying GWR's fleet of trains. As we delve deeper into this photograph, we find ourselves immersed in nostalgia for a bygone era when craftsmanship reigned supreme. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly mundane tasks like paint mixing required skillful hands and attention to detail. Preserved within the STEAM Museum collection, this print encapsulates not only GWR's commitment to excellence but also pays homage to those unsung heroes who diligently worked behind-the-scenes to bring vibrancy and life to their surroundings.
