Stephenson's Rocket, steam-powered (Hornby G100) |
 |
| location: |
A large (3.5-gauge) model of George Stevenson's iconic "Rocket" locomotive, made by Hornby, complete with tender (and barrel) and matching yellow "Liverpool and Manchester Railway carriage".
With its yellow paint, white flared chimney, and large front drivewheels powered by 45-degree -angled pistons, Stephenson's Rocket is probably the most distinctive and easily-recognised member of the family of early steam locomotives.
The model is steam-powered, and displayed next to Hornby's contemporarily-styled leaflet giving the locomotive's history.
