EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the vintage charm of Burrell Showmans Road Locomotive 3555, affectionately known as "The Busy Bee." Manufactured by the renowned Charles Burrell & Sons of Thetford, Norfolk in 1914, this compact yet powerful showman's road locomotive boasts a rich history that spans over six decades. The intricately designed engine, with its distinctive yellow and black livery, is a testament to the superior craftsmanship of the Burrell Company. The compound NHP (Narrow Gauge High Pressure) engine, featuring five cylinders, was a popular choice among showmen for its impressive power and maneuverability. The registration number "AO 6262" adds to the unique character of this locomotive, making it easily identifiable. The Busy Bee was built during an era when showman's engines were a common sight on the roads, transporting fairground attractions from one location to another. This photograph, taken in the 1970s, captures the essence of a bygone era. The Busy Bee, with its gleaming engine and meticulously maintained appearance, stands proudly against a backdrop of lush greenery, a fitting tribute to the enduring appeal of these historic machines. The Burrell Showmans Road Locomotive 3555, The Busy Bee, remains a cherished piece of industrial heritage, a reminder of the ingenuity and innovation that characterized the early 20th century. This photograph, brought to you by Mary Evans Picture Library from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a must-have for any collection of vintage transportation images or for those with a passion for the history of engineering.
