EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the nostalgic era of 1935, capturing a moment in time at Woody Bay on the Lynton & Barnstable Railway. The star of the scene is none other than "Taw" one of the remarkable 2-6-2T tank engines that were specially built by Manning Wardle for this narrow gauge railway line measuring just 1ft 11.5in. As we gaze upon this beautifully preserved image from the Ronald Shephard Collection, we are transported to a simpler time when steam locomotives ruled the tracks. Taw stands proudly at Woody Bay station, ready to embark on its journey with a down train in tow. Its sleek design and powerful presence evoke a sense of awe and admiration. The attention to detail in this photograph is astounding; every rivet and wheel spoke can be seen clearly, showcasing the craftsmanship that went into creating these magnificent machines. The surrounding landscape adds to the charm, with lush greenery framing Taw as it prepares for its next adventure along this picturesque route. Preserved by West Sussex County Council's Record Office, this print serves as a testament to our rich railway heritage. It allows us to appreciate not only the engineering marvels of yesteryear but also provides an opportunity for reflection on how far we have come in terms of transportation technology
