EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Marshall Convertible General Purpose Engine No. 74871 Lion, proudly displayed at Newark in June 1972. Registration number BE 9002 adorns the side of this magnificent steam-powered machine, adding to its unique identity. The Marshall Convertible General Purpose Engine, also known as a 'Lion,' was a versatile design capable of performing various tasks in the transportation industry. The engine's striking appearance is a testament to the engineering prowess of the era, with its intricate details and powerful presence. The Lion's open cab design allows for an unobstructed view of the engine's inner workings, offering a glimpse into the complex mechanisms that powered the steam engine. The large chimney stack billows out plumes of steam, adding to the engine's impressive stature. The 1970s, a time of transition from steam to diesel and electric power, saw the decline of steam-powered transportation. However, the Marshall Convertible General Purpose Engine continued to serve its purpose, reminding us of the rich history of steam transportation. This photograph captures a moment in time, preserving the essence of an era when steam engines ruled the rails. The William Kerry Collection, from which this image is sourced, is a treasure trove of historical photographs, offering a glimpse into the past and showcasing the beauty and complexity of steam engines like the Marshall Convertible General Purpose Engine No. 74871 Lion.
