This print takes us back to the bustling atmosphere of Derby works in 1902. The image showcases a remarkable sight - locomotives and wheels being assembled in the erecting shop, revealing the intricate craftsmanship that went into creating these magnificent machines. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are transported to an era where steam power reigned supreme. The sheer size and complexity of the locomotives on display is awe-inspiring, with their towering frames and gleaming metal surfaces. Each component meticulously fitted together by skilled workers who dedicated their lives to perfecting this art form. The scene is alive with activity as workers move around the shop floor, their faces etched with determination and expertise. Sparks fly as tools meet metal, adding an element of drama to this industrial symphony. It's clear that every detail matters here; no imperfection can be overlooked when constructing such powerful machinery. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and progress during the golden age of railways.
