EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the 8 WC Tank Engine designed by the pioneering British engineer, Richard Trevithick. The intricately detailed illustration, created by K Ohta, a skilled draughtsman, includes front, side, and rear elevations of the engine. Dated May 1900, this meticulous drawing was initialled RFT by Ohta, providing an authentic touch to this historical piece. The 8 WC Tank Engine, a significant contribution to the railway industry, was a steam-powered locomotive. Trevithick's innovative design featured a water tank integrated into the engine's body, allowing it to carry water for steam generation, eliminating the need for a separate water tender. This design revolutionized the railway industry, making the engines more efficient and self-sufficient. The illustration provides a comprehensive view of the engine's design, from its distinctive chimney and boiler to its wheels and coupling rods. The attention to detail is evident in the various measurements and annotations included in the drawing, making it an invaluable resource for railway enthusiasts and historians. The imperial scale of 0.75 inches to 1 foot further emphasizes the precision and accuracy of the drawing. This print is not only a testament to Trevithick's engineering prowess but also a fascinating glimpse into the history of railway engineering.
