EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Burrell Showman's Road Locomotive number 3526, affectionately known as "Lightning II," as it proudly stands at Harewood House on August 28, 1972. Registration number AO 6302 adorns the side of this vintage steam engine, adding to its unique character. The Burrell Company, based in Scotland, is renowned for manufacturing these road locomotives, which were popular among showmen and fairground operators during the 1900s and 1970s. The Road Locomotive number 3526, with its distinctive design and powerful presence, was a common sight during the steam age transportation era. The 1970s, in particular, were a time when these engines were cherished for their ability to provide entertainment and transport visitors to various attractions. In this image, the engine's gleaming metal surface reflects the sunlight, creating an almost ethereal glow around the machine. The steam billowing from the chimney adds to the sense of power and motion, while the lush greenery of Harewood House's grounds provides a picturesque backdrop. The Burrell Showman's Road Locomotive number 3526, Lightning II, is a testament to the rich history of steam transportation and the enduring appeal of these magnificent machines. This photograph, taken in 1972, captures a moment in time when steam power was still a vital part of the transportation landscape, and serves as a reminder of the nostalgia and wonder that these engines continue to evoke.
