Old Glory Collectors Series  |  Steam Road Locomotives Part 1
Following our Showman’s Engines, six parts on Traction Engines, five parts on Steam Rollers and three parts on Steam Wagons, we now turn our attention to Road Locomotives in this very extensive and popular series. Part 1 features Allchin, Aveling & Porter and Burrell products.
The cover sees 1920 Burrell 6hp No. 3829 double-crank compound His Majesty which was a crane engine all its working life for J. Hickey of Richmond, and is seen with the Searles of Horsham team on the 2022 HCVS London to Brighton Run at Handcross, Sussex. The back cover features 1914 Burrell No. 3633 Lord Kitchener seen on 29 December on the Saunders family road run.
The book has turned up many unusual and some, unseen by many, Aveling & Porter single-cylinder road locomotive pictures, remembering that this make was the biggest seller of road locomotives in this world up until 1900. We look at the various designs by this make leading up to the ultimate for them in the slide-valve compound YLD/YTD design.
We then turn our attention to Burrell, whose double-crank compound road locomotive was perhaps the best of its type and they are illustrated in the book here, along with many other examples of these handsome engines this company made. We end up with a number of pictures of No. 3829, which is also on the cover. It takes us up to 1920 when in the second part in this series will look at more on Burrell, Garrett and other makes.
