Summary edit

Description What a beauty! Great Western Railway "Star" 4-6-0 No.4003 Lode Star still in the livery it was repainted-in in 1948 when it was preserved by the GWR; that livery was 1923 GWR lined Brunswick Green (officially Middle Chrome Green) with the 1928 simplified coat of arms. Churchward designed many outstanding classes but the Star Class of 1906 was arguably his masterpiece of masterpieces, combining French, American, Belgian and British influences. The Stars were regarded by GWR drivers as the most free running of all GWR designs - even moreso than the Castles. The last Star was not withdrawn until 1957 - 51 years after the first appeared, which is a worthy testament to the capability of the design. A very rare foray into the open air for Lode Star in transit from the NRM York to "Steam" Swindon. A 3,500 gll Churchward tender is attached. 10/10.
