EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the golden era of steam locomotives, specifically showcasing the iconic Merlin, London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) steam locomotive No 4486. The year is August 1944, a time when these magnificent machines ruled the rails with their power and grace. What makes this particular locomotive even more special is its temporary name - Bryan. It was bestowed upon it after Fitzherbert Wright, the newly appointed director of LNER, named it after his beloved son. This personal touch adds an endearing quality to an already impressive piece of machinery. The photograph captures Merlin in all its glory as it stands proudly on the tracks. Its sleek design and intricate details are showcased beautifully against the backdrop of a bustling railway station. One can almost hear the rhythmic chugging sound that echoed through those bygone days. As we admire this snapshot from history, we are reminded of how important railways were in connecting people and places during that time. They not only served as a means of transportation but also symbolized progress and innovation. Preserved by the National Railway Museum, this image serves as a reminder of our rich railway heritage and pays homage to both LNER's legacy and Fitzherbert Wright's affection for his son Bryan. It is a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess that continues to captivate enthusiasts around the world today.
