GWR Carriage Design and Tow hook

Roll over the image to switch between Brunel's design for a railway carriage, and a GWR towhook inTiverton Museum, designed for workmen to tow carriages by hand: design image courtesy of the University of Bristol

Brunel did not only design major projects, such as ships and bridges. He was interested in every detail of his projects, and so as engineer to the Great Western Railway, he also designed such things as the railway carriages and even handtools!

Why not have a go at completing his design for this carriage or starting your own?
