EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Open Brake Third Carriage No. 651, a historic railway vehicle built to Diagram No. D130 (Lot 1644) in 1940. The carriage, a beautiful example of railway engineering from the past, was part of the Great Western Railway's (GWR) fleet during the early to mid-20th century. Open Brake Third Carriages, like No. 651, were designed to provide passengers with an open-air travel experience, allowing them to enjoy the scenic views of the countryside as they journeyed from one destination to another. The carriage's exterior is adorned with intricate details, including ornate latticework, brass fittings, and the iconic GWR crest. Built in the early years of the 20th century, this carriage is a testament to the craftsmanship and innovation of the era. Its open design was a popular choice for passengers seeking a more immersive travel experience, as it allowed them to feel more connected to their surroundings. No. 651's interior is equally impressive, with comfortable seating arranged in a three-abreast configuration, providing ample space for passengers to relax and enjoy their journey. The carriage's original wood paneling and upholstery have been lovingly preserved, adding to its historical significance and charm. Today, Open Brake Third Carriage No. 651 is part of the impressive collection at the Steam Museum of the GWR. The museum, located in Swindon, England, is dedicated to preserving and showcasing the rich history of the Great Western Railway. Visitors to the museum can step back in time and experience the sights, sounds, and sensations of railway travel from a bygone era, all while marveling at the beauty and craftsmanship of vehicles like No. 651.
