Beyer Derby Gauge Narrow Peacock

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph showcases Beyer Peacock Railway Engine No. 2 Derby, a stunning example of engineering artistry from the turn of the 20th century. The engine, manufactured by Beyer, Peacock and Company of Manchester, England, is a testament to the industrial prowess of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to an era of steam power and narrow gauge railways. The engine, adorned with intricate details and ornate design elements, is a sight to behold. Its powerful presence is accentuated by the soft, diffused light cast by the lantern slide, adding an ethereal quality to the image. The Beyer Peacock Railway Engine No. 2 Derby was built in 1896 and was a popular choice for narrow gauge railways due to its compact size and impressive power output. This engine, with its distinctive chimney and large driving wheels, was a common sight on the rails of Europe and beyond. The photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when steam power reigned supreme and the world was connected by a network of narrow gauge railways. The image is a reminder of the ingenuity and innovation that shaped the transportation landscape of the past and continues to inspire engineers and enthusiasts alike today.
