(67)

In 1881 William James Holmes returned from Scotland (his father having married the daughter of Sir Charles Flower). His son William Charles Flower Homes took over the estate in 1908 and built a generator and produced the first electricity in Strumpshaw. The family traditions still live on in the museum, a place where the past can be seen in all the steam engines and the farm machinery that helped

shape our future. Bring a picnic lunch, sit in the paddock on a Summer's day and just enjoy the view. We are only open SUNDAYS & BANK HOLIDAYS 10.30am - 3.30pm (Easter Sunday till the first week in October)

Thursford are extremely delighted to announce that we have an exciting project taking place..... the restoration of Victory back into steam, one of the most famous showman's engines in the world.

Victory is currently being returned to steam after many years dormant. The process began with a strip down and thorough boiler inspection. With that done and the full scope of works agreed, repairs to the boiler have now started (replacement stays and rivets, a new set of tubes). All steam fittings will be thoroughly overhauled. The repaired boiler will be hydraulically tested to 1.5x working pressure and certificated for use. Attention will then turn to mechanical aspects and the main dynamo (mounted on the front and used to power the canopy lights), a new set of front tyres will also be fitted.

Victory was the 1st of its kind to be designed and built by Burrells of Thetford, these were known as the Special scenic engines and on the back of Victory, 21 other engines were built but only 12 have survived into preservation. This is a significant milestone not only in the steam world but beyond. Out of all the scenics that have survived, all have been in steam at public events over the years, but to most people in the preservation world none have ever seen Victory outside let alone in steam. With Victory being returned to steam after nearly 40 years sitting dormant this is a very exciting new chapter not only for the Thursford Collection but also for the Cushing family.

Victory is currently at Craftmaster Restorations and will be in steam at the Royal Norfolk show and Thursford Gala day 2nd July 2023.
