This photograph showcases the historic Davey Paxman General Purpose Engine No. 13073, named "Victoria," manufactured by Davey, Paxman & Co. at their Colchester facility in 1907. The single-cylinder engine, with a nominal horsepower (NHP) of 7, was built during an era when steam power was a dominant force in industry and transportation. Despite being over 70 years old by the 1970s and 1980s when this image was taken, the Victoria engine continued to captivate and intrigue. Its antique charm and impressive engineering were a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of its creators. The engine's registration number, NK 967, adds to its unique identity. Davey, Paxman & Co. was a renowned British engineering firm that produced a wide range of engines, including marine, railway, and industrial models. The General Purpose Engine 13073, Victoria, is a prime example of their expertise in steam engine design and manufacturing. The Victoria engine's presence in this photograph serves as a reminder of the industrial revolution's engineering marvels and the significant role steam power played in shaping the world we live in today. This image is a must-have for steam engine enthusiasts, historians, and anyone with an appreciation for the engineering feats of the past.
