The Fairy Queen Giveaway

by Miss Tique on 25 January 2009 | 50 Comments

The Fairy Queen, built in 1855, is the world’s oldest steam locomotive in regular operation today, plying between New Delhi to Alwar in India. Constructed in Leeds, England in 1855, the train reached Calcutta in the same year where it was christened with the current name: the Fairy Queen. The locomotive was given its serial number 22, by its then owner, The East Indian Railway.

The locomotive was certified by the Guinness Book of Records to be the oldest operational locomotive after the Rajasthan government invoked it in 2004 to lug a deluxe train in order to boost tourism in the area. The Fairy Queen is run on the lines of the Palace on Wheels, the internationally renowned luxury train. [more about the Fairy Queen; more about Steam Locomotives]

My husband just ordered some business cards to begin a small home business and this would be so cute to have his cards in and to get him off to a great start. He has been out of the work force for 6 years and this would be a nice touch.
