EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the STEAM Museum of the GWR takes us back to the bustling atmosphere of the No 21 Shop, Wagon Repair Shop in the 1950s. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a crucial moment as skilled workers prepare to undertake repairs on a wagon frame. The dedicated craftsmen are meticulously removing the wheels from their axles, ensuring that every step is taken with precision and care. To facilitate easy movement of the frame into the workshop, temporary trolley wheels have been ingeniously added. These makeshift wheels serve as a practical solution to transport heavy loads within Swindon Works' vast premises. Their presence adds an intriguing touch to this scene, showcasing both resourcefulness and adaptability. The workshop itself exudes an air of industriousness and expertise. Tools hang neatly on walls while workbenches display evidence of ongoing projects. This image encapsulates not only a specific era but also highlights how essential maintenance was for keeping wagons operational during this period. As we gaze at this photograph, we can almost hear echoes of clanging metal and feel vibrations underfoot as workers go about their tasks diligently. It serves as a testament to the dedication and skill required by those who worked tirelessly behind these doors at Swindon Works - preserving history one repair at a time.
