EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a Leyland Model H Steam Wagon is being carefully loaded onto a flat-bed trailer at Harrogate, England, on the 9th of August, 1970. The Leyland Model H Steam Wagon, a rare and historic relic of the past, is now a prized exhibit at the British Commercial Vehicle Museum. The steam-powered tractor, with its distinctive tall smokestack and large wheels, was once a common sight on the farms and heavy industry sites of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. However, by the 1970s, steam power had been largely replaced by more efficient and modern internal combustion engines. Despite its imposing size and weight, the Leyland Model H Steam Wagon is being expertly maneuvered onto the trailer by a team of workers. The wagon's intricate machinery, including its powerful steam engine and complex system of gears and levers, are protected from the elements as it is carefully secured for transport. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era, when steam power was the driving force behind agriculture and industry. The Leyland Model H Steam Wagon, with its heavy-duty construction and impressive traction capabilities, was a testament to the ingenuity and determination of its designers and builders. Today, the Leyland Model H Steam Wagon is a cherished reminder of the past, a symbol of the industrial revolution and the technological advances that shaped the modern world. Its preservation in the British Commercial Vehicle Museum ensures that future generations can learn about the history of steam power and the role it played in shaping the agricultural and industrial landscapes of the past. This photograph captures a moment in time, a snapshot of history, as the Leyland Model H Steam Wagon begins its journey to a new home, where it will continue to inspire and educate visitors for generations to come.
