EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1953, offering a glimpse into the interior of a non-corridor third brake van. Built according to diagram D132, this particular model showcases the remarkable craftsmanship of the Great Western Railway (GWR). Stepping into this compartment feels like stepping into history itself. The image captures every intricate detail within this humble yet essential space. The wooden paneling adorning the walls exudes an air of timeless elegance, while the polished brass fixtures add a touch of sophistication. The worn leather seats tell stories of countless journeys taken by passengers over the years. As we examine closer, our eyes are drawn to various elements that reveal its purpose as a brake van. A large wheel stands prominently in one corner, serving as a vital control mechanism for braking operations during train journeys. Luggage racks above provide ample storage space for travelers' belongings. This photograph transports us back to an era when railway travel was at its peak and evokes nostalgia for simpler times. It reminds us of how these compartments were once filled with bustling activity and conversations among passengers from all walks of life. Preserved within the STEAM Museum's collection, this print serves as a testament to GWR's dedication to quality and innovation in railway engineering. It allows us to appreciate not only their technical expertise but also their commitment to providing safe and comfortable transportation for all who traveled on their trains throughout history.
