EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases McLaren Showman's Road Locomotive number 1623 Goliath, a remarkable steam engine that once graced the roads of the United Kingdom during the 1970s. Registration number DH 2482 adorns the side of this historic vehicle, adding to its distinct identity. The image was captured on 2 September 1972, at Hinkley, a location that holds significant history for steam engine enthusiasts. The McLaren Showman's Road Locomotive, also known as a steam roller, was a common sight on the roads during the 1970s, providing transport solutions for various industries and events. Goliath, with its impressive size and power, was no exception. This particular engine, numbered 1623, was named after the legendary biblical character, reflecting its strength and might. Steam engines, such as Goliath, played a crucial role in the transportation sector during the 1970s, particularly in rural areas where access to modern transport methods was limited. The steam engine's ability to traverse challenging terrain and transport heavy loads made it an invaluable asset. As we gaze at this photograph, we are transported back in time, to an era where steam engines ruled the roads and the roar of their engines echoed through the countryside. The McLaren Showman's Road Locomotive number 1623 Goliath stands as a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the past, a reminder of the significant role these machines played in our history.
