This photograph showcases No. 1331, a historic 0-6-0 Saddle Tank steam locomotive, built in 1877 by Fox, Walker and Co. Originally designed for the Whitland and Carrog Railway, this steam engine was later taken over by the Great Western Railway (GWR) in 1886 and given the number 1387. The image transports us back in time to the late 19th century, an era of steam-powered innovation and progress. The locomotive, with its intricate design and bold red and black livery, stands proudly against a backdrop of lush greenery, reminding us of the harmony between industry and nature during this period. No. 1331's saddle tank design, a common configuration for steam locomotives during this time, allowed for a larger boiler capacity and improved water supply to the engine, enhancing its performance and efficiency. The engine's wheels, each adorned with intricate spokes and detailing, are a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the era. This photograph is a precious addition to the extensive collection at the Steam Museum of the GWR. It not only showcases the beauty and engineering prowess of the past but also serves as a reminder of the significant role steam locomotives played in shaping the transportation landscape of the late 19th century and beyond.
