EDITORS COMMENTS
Quo Vadis," a captivating and historic showman's road locomotive, is depicted in this evocative photograph. Built in 1922 by the esteemed Charles Burrell & Sons of Thetford, Norfolk, this scenic compound locomotive, numbered 3938, boasts an intriguing past. Its registration number, XL 9086, adds to its unique identity. The locomotive's name, "Quo Vadis," translates to "Where are you going?" in Latin, adding an air of mystery to this magnificent machine. With its compound cylinders, this locomotive was a marvel of engineering in its time. The image captures the essence of the 1970s and 1980s, as the steam era began to fade into the background of transportation history. The rustic charm of the locomotive, with its intricate details and weathered exterior, stands out against the lush green backdrop. Charles Burrell & Sons of Thetford were renowned for their high-quality engineering and manufacturing of road locomotives, and the Quo Vadis is a testament to their skill and craftsmanship. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when steam-powered locomotives ruled the roads and the simple joy of travel was found in the journey itself. The Quo Vadis, with its rich history and timeless appeal, continues to captivate and inspire, reminding us of the beauty and wonder of the past.
