The Fairy Queen Locomotive Glass

Raise your glass to India’s railway legacy. Our “Fairy Queen Heritage Engraved Whiskey Glass” is more than just drinkware — it’s a tribute to one of India’s most cherished icons: the Fairy Queen, the 1855-built steam locomotive that still runs under steam in heritage service. It is the worlds oldest running steam locomotive.

Why this glass is special

• Historically rich design: We’ve precision engraved a finely detailed silhouette of the Fairy Queen in its classic form — boiler, wheels, star emblem, smokestack — preserving all historical cues without embellishment.

• Collector’s appeal: For veterans of the Indian Railways and rail buffs alike, this glass is a keepsake — a nod to the steam age, when engines were mechanical marvels and every journey felt grand.

• Symbol of pride: The Fairy Queen carries the legacy of East Indian Railway No. 22, built by Kitson, Thompson & Hewitson in Leeds, brought to India in 1855, and later restored to steam service. 

• A piece of heritage: Recognized by Guinness in 1998 as the world’s oldest steam locomotive in regular service, the Fairy Queen also won the National Tourism Award in 1999.

• Elegant and functional: The glass is crafted with premium clarity and weight — perfect for sipping whisky, brandy, or aged spirits — whether on a desk or in a display cabinet.
