EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the majestic Steam Locomotive Lord Faringdon 1169, signed by its inventor, Mr. G. Robinson, in the late 1800s. The locomotive, fitted with a Robinson superheater, is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the steam railway era. The Lord Faringdon 1169 was a powerful and efficient engine that graced the rails of the Great Central Railway (GCR) during the 1880s. Its specifications include a 4-4-0 wheel arrangement, a total weight of 57 tons, and a boiler pressure of 150 psi. The Robinson superheater, a significant advancement in steam technology, improved the engine's thermal efficiency by preheating the steam before it entered the cylinders. The intricate details of the locomotive's design are on full display in this photograph. The polished brass fittings, gleaming metal surfaces, and the meticulously crafted boiler and cylinders all contribute to the engine's striking appearance. The steam plume billowing from the chimney adds a sense of motion and energy, emphasizing the locomotive's power and strength. The Lord Faringdon 1169 was more than just a means of transportation; it was a symbol of progress and engineering excellence during the Victorian era. This photograph is a precious reminder of the golden age of steam railways and the pioneering spirit that drove their development. The signature of Mr. Robinson, the inventor of the Robinson superheater, adds a personal touch to this historical artifact and makes it a must-have for any railway enthusiast or history buff's collection.
