Built in Gorton, Manchester, in 1856 for the Royal Swedish Railways, "Prins August" is today the oldest operable steam locomotive in original condition in the world. Named after the youngest son of King Oscar I of Sweden, she is pehaps the origin of the Swedish expression "as dumb as a train". After a working life of 50 years, "Prins August" entered preservation in 1906 and was restored in 1956.
Music: Aria for Strings from Concerto Grossi No. 14, G F Handel, played by Anthony Dawson
