EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases McLaren Road Locomotive number 1652 Boadicea, a historic steam engine that once graced the roads of the United Kingdom. Registration number WF 1864 is proudly displayed on the side of this magnificent machine, which was captured at Roxton Park on the 15th of September, 1973. The McLaren Road Locomotive, also known as a road rail locomotive, was a versatile vehicle that could operate both on the road and on railway tracks. Number 1652 Boadicea, named after the legendary Queen of the Iceni tribe of ancient Britain, is a testament to the engineering prowess of the time. The 1970s were an era of transition, with the steam age giving way to the modern diesel and electric engines. Yet, the charm and romance of the steam engine continued to captivate the public, and the sight of a steam engine like Boadicea on the roads was a common one. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when steam engines ruled the roads and rails. The image of Boadicea, with its billowing steam and the verdant backdrop of Roxton Park, is a beautiful reminder of the rich transport history of the United Kingdom. The William Kerry Collection, from which this photograph is taken, is a treasure trove of historical images that provide valuable insights into the past. This photograph, in particular, offers a unique perspective on the McLaren Road Locomotive and the transport landscape of the 1970s.
