Title:
Truto To Windsor
Description:
#10799 49 x 35 cm
The photo shows a 2005 jigsaw puzzle featuring the artwork of Robert Nixon. She is heading a rake of GWR chocolate and cream passenger coaches and several passengers and station staff are included in the picture. The ’City’ class of ten, 4-4-0 locomotives was designed by George Jackson Churchward in 1903. A year later while heading the ’Ocean Mails’ train from Plymouth to Paddington, City of Truro attained a speed of 102 mph, the first time that a speed of 100mph had been recorded. Only one timekeeper was present, however, and two were required for authentification. As a result the record was never officially ratified; try telling that to a true ’dyed in the wool’ GWR enthusiast though, and see what reaction you get.
