EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the McLaren Road Locomotive Boadicea WF1864, a historic and impressive piece of engineering from the early 20th century. Registration number WF1864 and factory number 1652, this locomotive was built in 1919 by J&H McLaren & Co. at their Hunslet works in Leeds, England. Powered by a 10 Nhp (Nominal Horsepower) compound steam engine, this road locomotive was a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the time. The McLaren Road Locomotive Boadicea was not designed for commercial use, but rather for heavy-duty farming and transportation applications. The compound steam engine allowed for greater efficiency and power, making it an ideal choice for the demanding tasks required on the farm. Despite being built over half a century ago, the Boadicea's robust design and impressive engineering continue to captivate us today. The photograph, taken in the 1960s or 1970s, captures the locomotive in its element, surrounded by the rolling hills and lush greenery of the countryside. The steam engine billows out plumes of smoke as the locomotive moves steadily forward, a sight that would have been a common one in rural areas during that era. The McLaren Road Locomotive Boadicea WF1864 is a reminder of a bygone era when steam power ruled the roads and farms, and a testament to the enduring appeal of the machines that shaped our industrial and agricultural history.
