EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the historic Burrell Showmans Road Locomotive, registration number CO 3822, and nicknamed "Lord Nelson." Built in 1913 by Charles Burrell & Sons at Thetford, England, this magnificent machine is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the past. Originally designed as a standard Road Locomotive, Lord Nelson later adopted Showman's road locomotive guise, making it a popular attraction at fairs and exhibitions. The transformation saw the addition of intricate decorative details, making it a true showpiece on the road. In this image, taken on August 6, 1967, Lord Nelson is proudly displayed at the Beaulieu Motor Museum. The steam-powered tractor, with its heavy-duty machinery and steam traction engine design, stands out against the backdrop of the museum, showcasing the unique blend of history, engineering, and artistry. Despite its impressive size and power, Lord Nelson's origins can be traced back to the humble farming community. Its steam-powered engine was once used to pull heavy machinery and equipment on farms, revolutionizing the way agriculture was managed. This photograph is a reminder of the rich history of steam-powered vehicles and the role they played in shaping the agricultural and industrial landscapes of the past. The intricate details of Lord Nelson's design and the raw power of its steam engine continue to captivate and inspire us today.
