EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the majestic presence of Grenadier Guardsman, no. 6110, a Royal Scot type steam locomotive that once roared along the London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS). Built in 1927, this historic engine is a fine example of the engineering prowess of the era. With its distinctive red livery and intricate details, no. 6110 was a sight to behold as it chugged along the rails. After an impressive career on the LMS, no. 6110 was purchased by Billy Butlin, the renowned entrepreneur and founder of the popular holiday camps. Following a cosmetic restoration, the engine was displayed at Skegness as a proud addition to Butlin's collection of attractions. The photograph showcases the locomotive in its new home, standing proudly against a backdrop of greenery and the blue sky. Despite its retirement from active service, no. 6110 continues to captivate and inspire. Today, it remains a cherished piece of railway history, having survived the test of time and serving as a reminder of the golden age of steam trains. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of the steam locomotive and the romance of the railway era.
