Manufacturer description

Anaddition to the Oxford Showtime series is the magnificent Burrell 8 nhp DCC Showmans Road Locomotive No. 2342 and named 'Vanguard'. Built by Charles Burrell & Sons Ltd. Engineers of Thetford in Norfolk in 1900, our model is decorated in the rich Crimson Lake with white roof and cream roof underside. As is usual with the Showman series, there is a wealth of intricate decoration applied in gold including steering wheels, wheel centres, roof poles as well as the black and gold stack. The owner's name H R Richards & Family is printed along the edge of the roof in dropped shadow work. Like many Showmans engines of the period, the real-life Vanguard has been a familiar sight particularly at the West Country Traction Engine Rallies
