EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Lord Nelson Class 4-6-0 locomotive 850, named after the legendary British naval hero, is seen being meticulously prepared for its inaugural journey from Waterloo Station. The image, captured by Charles E Brown during the interwar period, transports us back in time to an era of grandeur and romance in rail travel. The Southern Railway's Lord Nelson Class, designed by Nigel Gresley and introduced in 1925, was a powerful and elegant addition to the railway fleet. With its distinctive chimney adorned with a tall funnel and a crest bearing Lord Nelson's image, it was a sight to behold. The scene at Waterloo Station is bustling with activity. Railway workers in their uniforms are seen checking the engine's various components, ensuring that every nut and bolt is securely fastened. Steam is beginning to rise from the engine as the fire is being stoked, signaling that the locomotive is readying itself for the impending departure. Passengers, dressed in their finest attire, gather around the platform, eagerly anticipating the arrival of the new steam engine. The excitement is palpable as the steam train era continues to captivate the public. The photograph, taken from the Royal Air Force Museum's collection, offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the significance of rail travel during the interwar period and the awe-inspiring machines that made it possible. This image of Lord Nelson Class 4-6-0 locomotive 850 being prepared for its first service from Waterloo Station is a testament to the enduring allure of railways and the spirit of adventure they continue to evoke.
