EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the steam locomotive Lord Faringdon (1169), an engineering marvel of the late 1800s. The locomotive, fitted with the innovative Robinson superheater, is depicted in all its glory, exuding power and sophistication. The Robinson superheater, a significant advancement in steam locomotive technology, increased the efficiency of steam engines by preheating the water in the boiler before it reached the firebox. The image, signed by its creator, Mr. G. Robinson, is a testament to the artistry and technical prowess of the era. The locomotive, with its intricate details and powerful presence, stands out against the backdrop of the Great Central Railway (GCR) tracks. The specifications on the reverse of the photograph provide insight into the inner workings of this magnificent machine, revealing its impressive capabilities. The Lord Faringdon, a product of the GCR's commitment to progress and innovation, embodies the spirit of the railway industry during the 1880s. This photograph is not only a visual delight but also a historical document, offering a glimpse into the past and the evolution of steam locomotive technology.
