Thanks to the Friends of Swindon Railway Museum, the STEAM Museum has now acquired a painting produced by internationally acclaimed artist and muralist Ken White.
The oil on canvas painting, entitled The Rivet Hotters, depicts a group of GWR rivet hotters gathered round a brazier, making their toast at lunchtime. The Rivet Hotters is one of many paintings in Ken^s collection that reflect the time he spent at the famous Swindon Railway Works as a rivet hotter and later as a signwriter.
