Prince of Wales at Dorset Steam Fair
 

No, not Charles!

I read about the first outing of Burrell Scenic Prince of Wales after 15 years restoration by the Searles in OG this month....but no pictures!

Did anyone get some good shots of my favourite engine! Please post them for us all to drool over!

Here you are - two to drool over, by day and by night......

the prince of wales looked really good at dorset

Thanks for the pics - she looks a lot different than when I knew her in the 60's - looks like the lining out is now just black and white without the gold and yellow/red. Inside of the roof used to be the traditional pale green. Wonder if the Searles have restored her to the orginal Thetford delivery spec....hope there is some more information on the restoration in next month's OG. Any one know anything more?

A little memory-jogger for you. This was taken at The Festival of Transport at Hellingly in Sussex in the early years of that event. I don't know the year, unfortunately my records ar non-existant for this long ago, but I would estimate 25-30 years ago. There are a lot of differences.

Can I see a 'nip-guard' and 'belt-guard' there - Interesting....

There are a lot of differences.

Same engine from about the same angle, go ahead and spot the difference

More pics of this engine can be found by clicking here

Thanks for that, saved me doing it! Is there a prize for he/she who spots most?

Can I go first...

Its a different colour.

Sam.

(And no lamps on now, no nip guard, new smokebox, ammeter and voltmeter are somewhere else, no artifact on the belly tanks anymore)

I'm going to add to that by saying that the lightbulbs on the front top of the canopy seem further back than they used to be.

The opposite of that

Interesting to see the guard along the length of the belt on Bob's pic, not noticed that before.

Couple of alternative views:

Thats what i meant of course. Thank you for pointing it out to avoid confusion.

Also, it does seem that there are many more lightbulbs underneath the canopy such as over the motion and above the regulator than there used to be.
