Prins August - Old Steam Locomotive 

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

What a charming looking loco.

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.

Shes a doll, many thanks to all those who make it possible.

lordy, i want to drive that thing! What a beauty!

That is a very handsome locomotive. Greetings from the U.S.!

Amazing steam Locomotive right there!, love that Turntable by the way.

Prinse August beautiful! How interesting it is to be near such operating steam locomotives.

Wow. What a magnificent locomotive. Just think of the developments in rail transport this beauty has seen. Great upload

Would love to see it pull a train and hear it working hard up a grade. Beautiful engine!

That turntable cant be doing those wheels any sort of service at all...

Looks like a mix of the Dutch SS 13 and HSM 89! Very interesting steam engine!

Cab apart, that looks like a fine locomotive with many features to become standard later. Outside cylinders/inside valve gear for one.

Man I wish i can see it

The drop from the table sounds like a bit of a spring-snapper.

Thank you for doing all your postings ....wow what minds back then....to build as we all did in the 1800s and on such a jump...

Wonderful, what a beautiful locomotive. May I have one, please?

This has a victorian style even if its not a british machine! Love it! The loco drivers and heaters have to wear large cylinder hats white gloves and black tuxedos as common in the 1860s ! :-)

Thank you Bo Arabäck

Would I be correct in guessing this beauty comes from Beyer Peacock?

A gem. Must be one of or perhaps the oldest working locos in the world? :-)

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

WOW A MUST WATCH .....REALLY GREAT STUFF THE SOUNDS......WOOOOOO.THANK U

165 years old now!

Классный паровоз, стильный, как джентельмен с мануфактуры.

The way she smacks herself on and off the turntable is kinda funny.

Beautiful machine. I really hope SteamLocoScrapperEnthusiast isn't around.

If someone said she was a GWR machine I'd have believed them. Heck of a jolt coming off the turntable.

Steam engine August is nice but why drivers cabin is made open to sky.It should be closed. Thanks.

Tjusig ånglok! Finns många fina bilder att söka i google också.

British Beauty.

Wow

KA-BOOOM!!! LOL I'll have two lumps of sugar with that Tea...

Quite similar to the Metropolitan 4-4-0 tanks and the Isle of Man locomotives.

Why no roof? This one can't ride when raining or what?

Helt underbart

Was she first built in England?

I'm guessing second oldest operational loco in the world

what basis was this engine?

Gamla och speciella lok

Modern steam is far more potent than steam back then.. This thing could explode

Is the locomotive British because it sure looks it to me????

Uk had first
