EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the vintage charm of Fowler Showmans Road Locomotive 14424, affectionately named "Valiant," produced by the esteemed engineering firm, John Fowler & Co. of Leeds, in 1916. The locomotive, classified as a B6, boasts compound cylinders and an impressive power output of 10 Nhp. Manufactured during the early 20th century, this Showman's Road Locomotive was built for the express purpose of transporting fairground attractions and amusement equipment from one location to another. With its distinctive design and robust construction, it was an essential component of the traveling circus and fairground scene. The image captures Valiant in its prime during the 1970s and 1980s, an era when the nostalgia of steam-powered machinery began to evoke a sense of wonder and excitement in people. The locomotive's gleaming metal exterior, intricate details, and the billowing smoke from its stack all contribute to the allure of a bygone era. The registration number DH 2545 is clearly visible on the side of the locomotive, adding to its unique identity. Valiant's name, proudly displayed on the tender, is a testament to the spirit and determination of this remarkable machine. This photograph is a precious reminder of the rich history of steam-powered transportation and the role it played in the entertainment industry. It invites us to appreciate the engineering marvels of the past and the enduring appeal of the steam locomotive.
