EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the vintage charm of Burrell Showmans Road Locomotive 2668, affectionately named "Britannia." Manufactured by Charles Burrell & Sons of Thetford, Norfolk in 1904, this Showman's Road Locomotive is a testament to engineering innovation and artistic design of the early 20th century. With its distinctive red and gold livery, this compound, NHP engine boasts impressive cylinders, measuring 8 inches in diameter. The intricate details of the locomotive's design are on full display, from the ornate metalwork adorning the boiler to the meticulously crafted wheels. Despite being built over seven decades prior, Britannia appears as if it could still grace the roads with its powerful presence. The 1970s setting of this photograph adds an extra layer of intrigue, as the locomotive seems almost anachronistic amidst the modern world. Charles Burrell & Sons of Thetford were renowned for their high-quality engineering, and this locomotive is no exception. The company's dedication to excellence is evident in the robust construction and elegant design of Britannia. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into a bygone era when road locomotives ruled the roads and engineering marvels like Britannia were the epitome of innovation and progress.
