This locomotive was manufactured in 1862, in the Beyer, Peacock and Company factory (England), it pulled several times the Royal train that can be seen in the second and third pictures, this locomotive worked in the Portuguese railways until 1921, it remained stored in a junkyard until 1956, when it was fully restored, now it rests in the National Railway museum (Entroncamento - Portugal)

The locomotive and train cars are absolutely beautiful Lata, the antique design, colors with gold trim, all wonderful
So true... even the interiors look like a palace room :) than you!
Too cool ,love railway museums
The coach style is so baroque. Incredible!
I think that is the beautiful coach I have seen, from the outside at least. I imagine it is quite posh inside.
Thank you all for the Loves and kind comments, you can see images of the interiors and extra info here http://invitaminerva45.blogspot.fr/2011/08/comboio-real.html
