EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the majestic presence of Burrell Showmans Road Locomotive PB 9624, affectionately known as "King George VI," at a steam rally during the 1970s-1980s. Owned by J. Wharton, this impressive steam-powered machine is a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the past. The Burrell Company, based in Scotland, was renowned for manufacturing high-quality steam-powered tractors and road locomotives between 1907 and 1967. However, this image showcases a leisure application of their engineering prowess, as "King George VI" was used for showmans and road processions rather than commercial farming. The locomotive's regal name pays homage to the British monarch who reigned from 1936 to 1952. The intricate details of the engine's design, from the ornate boiler to the polished metalwork, are on full display as it sits proudly among other vintage machinery at the rally. The steam traction engine, with its heavy-duty construction and powerful engine, represents an era when steam power ruled the fields and roads. Its presence at the rally serves as a reminder of the rich history of steam technology and the passion it continues to inspire in enthusiasts today. This photograph not only showcases the beauty and grandeur of "King George VI," but also the camaraderie and shared appreciation for these historical machines among the steam rally community. It is a captivating snapshot of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the past and the enduring allure of steam power.
