Framed Print — Southern Railway Schools Class No. 926 “Repton” at Dickers Crossing
This exclusive framed print captures Southern Railway Schools Class No. 926 “Repton” at Dickers Crossing during a striking autumn sunset on the Swanage Railway, photographed at the 2025 Autumn Steam Gala. The locomotive is shown working confidently through the fading light, its outline framed by the warm glow of the setting sun and the rich seasonal colours of the Dorset countryside.
The scene combines atmosphere, motion, and heritage in equal measure. The low sun casts long shadows across the lineside, illuminating the steam, smoke, and fine detail of this famed express passenger engine. The composition balances the locomotive’s imposing presence with the natural beauty of Dickers Crossing, producing a timeless railway image that will appeal to enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone with an appreciation for classic British steam.
Printed on premium Fujifilm-grade photographic paper and presented in a clean, contemporary frame, this piece is designed to stand out in both modern and traditional interiors. It is a refined and authentic celebration of Southern Railway heritage and a memorable moment from the 2025 gala.
Historical Background of No. 926 “Repton”
Southern Railway No. 926 “Repton” is one of the renowned Schools Class 4-4-0 locomotives, designed by Richard Maunsell and introduced between 1930 and 1935. These were the most powerful 4-4-0s ever to operate in Britain, built for fast, efficient express work on routes with route restrictions that prevented the use of larger locomotives.
Named after prominent public schools served by the Southern Railway network, “Repton” entered service in 1934. Throughout its Southern and later British Railways career, it hauled many of the network’s top passenger services, becoming distinguished for its performance and reliability.
Withdrawn from regular service in 1962, No. 926 survived thanks to preservation efforts and later became a celebrated member of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway fleet.
