EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Burrell Showmans Road Locomotive 3887, affectionately named "The Prince of Wales," during the 1969 Beaulieu Steam Happening. Manufactured by Charles Burrell & Sons of Thetford, Norfolk in 1922, this scenic compound NHP locomotive boasts an impressive history. Numbered 3887 and registered as HR 6658, The Prince of Wales is a testament to the craftsmanship and engineering prowess of its creators. Its scenic cylinders, a hallmark of Burrell locomotives, add to its distinctive appearance. The Prince of Wales was built as part of the Showman's Road Locomotive class, designed for transporting fairground attractions and equipment from one location to another. However, the image captures it in its element at the Beaulieu Steam Happening, a popular event that celebrated the rich heritage of steam power. The Burrell Company, renowned for its high-quality steam engines, produced this locomotive with the utmost care and attention to detail. The Prince of Wales stands proudly in this photograph, a symbol of the bygone era of steam power and the enduring appeal it holds for enthusiasts. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when steam engines ruled the roads and the simple joy of machinery was a source of wonder and excitement for all.
