Norfolk Police said the museum traction engine, which broke down at around 3.40pm 25/10/2014, is partially blocking the southbound exit near to the A11 roundabout with the Brandon road near to the Sainsbury’s supermarket.
A steam engine built in the 1910s has broken down on the A11 at Thetford, partially blocking the road.
The Queen Mary is a showman’s vehicle, and one of the oldest examples of an engine in its original condition, having never been restored.
It was built in 1919 as a plain road locomotive for haulage work.
It was bought by Richard Townsend of Weymouth and converted to a showman’s engine to generate electricity on fairgrounds.
Speaking earlier today at the Charles Burrell Museum open event, John Waple, the museum’s volunteer manager, said the writing on the side of the vehicle was the only thing that had been changed since it was made.
As such, engineers at the museum refer to it as being in its “original clothes”.
