London schoolboys among the Kings special tour of Swindon locomotive works
London schoolboys among the Kings special tour of Swindon locomotive works.
Boys from many of the London technical schools left the realms of theory and models and had an opportunity of really seeing what makes the railway wheels go round when, on schoolboys day, they toured the huge locomotive works of the Great Western railway at Swindon. Under the guidance of experts, the boys toured the shops and watched the building of locomotives from the little tank engines, railway maids of all work, to the record breaking King and Castle class giants.
Every phase of locomotive manuafacture and main chance was shown to the boys.
Photo shows, the schoolboys watching a king class locomotive being lifted from its wheels and frame for overhaul in the Swindon engine shop.
