EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print transports us back in time to the early days of rail transport in Britain, specifically to the Furness Railways and their iconic locomotive no. 3, affectionately known as Old Coppernob. Dating back to 1846, this locomotive is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the Victorian era. The name Old Coppernob is not hard to guess, with the prominent copper-plated boiler taking center stage. However, the boiler's size and position may have impeded the vision of the drivers, adding an element of challenge to their daily operations. Old Coppernob was one of the earliest and most successful steam locomotives in the Furness Railway fleet. Its powerful engine and impressive design paved the way for the development of more advanced locomotives in the coming decades. The locomotive's historical significance is evident in its preservation, allowing us to appreciate the rich history of rail transport in Britain. This photograph print is a must-have for rail enthusiasts, historians, and anyone with an interest in the history of transportation. It offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to the people and technologies that shaped our world. The intricate details of Old Coppernob's design are beautifully captured in this image, making it a stunning addition to any collection. Overall, this photograph print is not just a pretty picture, but a window into the past, a reminder of the progress we have made, and a tribute to the pioneers who dared to dream and build the railways that connected our nation.
