'Thomas's Uncle'
Dlds: 66
Status: active
This image was taken in the Dutch Railway Museum in Utrecht, a city in the center of my country The Netherlands, on the same day that I took THIS ONE.
Apparently 'Thomas' has such an attractive power, that even this old steam locomotive got a human face cover like Thomas. 'Thomas's Uncle' however didn't participate actively in the Thomas festivities on that day, probably because of his age 😜 !
The original designator of this locomotive is SS 326, It's one of a series of 179 locomotives that has been operated in The Netherlands. This series got the nickname 'Big Green' because of the color of its steam boiler. The SS 326 was built in 1881 by the factory of Beyer, Peacock & Co Ltd. in Manchester, England. The locomotive' its 'task' was to draw heavy international passenger trains. The SS 326 was taken into service in 1881 and in 1939 it was set aside for the museum.
