Of the oldest B-locomotives are one, Prince August, preserved. Built in 1856.
It was taken out of service in 1906, but was saved as a museum piece.
At the 100th anniversary in 1956 restored it to running condition
and are thus now one of the world's oldest executable locomotive in original condition.
The locomotive is occasionally out from their regular placement
Swedish Railway Museum in Gävle and demonstration runs
as it did 2015 May 23 at the Swedish Railway Museum 100th anniversary

This locomotive is definitely from a time where machines like this were designed to be as overengineered as they are beautiful

You would never see Liverpool & Manchester engine Lion, the Stirling Single or Hardwicke be subjected to ongoing occasional operation like this, simply because the conservation of museum stock here in Britain is considerably tighter. Clearly the message felt in Sweden, plus Switzerland and Japan, is unless you get to see museum pieces run for fair play it isn't fully worth the experience. Sweden truly is a haven for steam and I'd happily go there and take a hand at driving those beauts. Samuel F.

Imagine driving that in a Swedish winter when the cab is basically a square of metal a litlte bigger than a postage stamp.

This engine's design reminds me of Fowler's Ghost, from the late 1800s.

@johnd8892 3 жыл бұрын

Fowlers Ghost built in 1861, so just five years after the Prins August from Sweden. But Prins August having a conventional firebox, was much more successful although similar in outline and wheel arrangement.
