EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Foster Showman's Road Locomotive 14632, affectionately named "Success," parked at Harewood House during the 1970s. The image, part of The William Kerry Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the bygone era of steam transport during the 1970s. Foster Showman's Road Locomotive 14632 is a remarkable piece of engineering history. Registration number AAU 370, this road locomotive was a popular choice for showmen and fairground operators due to its versatility and power. The locomotive's distinctive design, with its large chimney and intricate detailing, is a testament to the craftsmanship of its time. The photograph, taken at Harewood House, captures the essence of the steam engine's grandeur and the sense of wonder it evoked in onlookers. The sprawling estate, with its elegant architecture and lush greenery, provides a picturesque backdrop for the locomotive, highlighting the contrast between the old and the new. The 1970s was a pivotal decade for transportation, as steam engines began to give way to more modern modes of transport. Yet, the allure of the steam engine remained, and road locomotives like Foster Showman's 14632 continued to captivate audiences. This photograph serves as a reminder of the romance and nostalgia that surrounds the steam engine and the transport industry's rich history.
