Still going strong 111 years after it was built in 1903, is this steam powered road locomotive. It was built by Burrells of Thetford, Norfolk, one of the leading manufacturers of these vehicles. Its original use was as a showman's locomotive, as it was used to drive machinery at fairgrounds. The registration plate is BL8368. A fortunate stop at a red traffic light enabled this picture to be snatched!
