King George V & City Of Truro Return to Swindon

One of the most famous locomotives ever built by the Great Western Railway was back in Swindon today.
King George V - the first King Class loco built at The Works in 1927 - was transported from the National Railway Museum in York to the Steam Museum as part of an exhibition to celebrate the 175th anniversary of 'New Swindon' in 2016.
The train was joined by 'City of Truro', another Swindon-built locomotive that became the first ever to reach and pass the magical speed of 100mph in 1904.
