EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of the 1958 Worcester Rally, where three magnificent steam traction engines took center stage. The Duke of York, a Fowler 10 NHP Compound Crane Engine, number 17106, built in 1928, is the most prominent engine in the line-up. Its large, intricately designed boiler and tall, curved stack make it a striking sight, especially against the dark, lit background. Next to it is the unidentified Ruston Proctor General Purpose engine, the Netley Belle, a 1917 vintage 4 NHP Compound Garrett Tractor, number 32981, registered as BJ3282. Its compact design and simple lines contrast with the Duke of York's ornate features, yet it retains the same essential steam-powered charm. The Duke of Norfolk, an Aveling & Porter GND class 4 NHP Compound Convertible Tractor, number 8384, registered as KT 2937, completes the trio. This 1914 vintage engine, with its distinctive curved boiler and large flywheel, exudes an air of elegance and power. The engines are surrounded by a scene of tranquility and nostalgia, with the trees and lights adding to the atmospheric effect. The year is 1958, and the steam engine era is drawing to a close, making this photograph a precious reminder of a bygone era. Other engines in the background, such as the 1922 Burrell Showman's Road Locomotive, number 3909, registered as 965, add to the scene's charm. This 4 NHP Compound engine, with its distinctive cylindrical boiler and large wheels, is a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the steam engine makers of the time. As we look at this photograph, we are transported back in time, to an era when steam engines ruled the roads and transport was a truly scenic and romantic experience.
