When placed on their impressive wooden display plinth, the three highly detailed and intricate locomotive models from the Birth of the Railway train pack can be displayed in all their splendor. Each is an incredible replica of a historic icon, with chain joints and meticulously painted liveries.

The accessory pack comes with magnetic fits if you prefer, plus pilot and firefighter figures to bring the finished display to life.

History

These models, representing the formative years of steam railways, represent three locomotives built between 1825 and 1838.

The first is "Locomotion No. 1", designed by George and Robert Stephenson. It was built at their Newcastle factory for the opening of the Stockton & Darlington Railway, where it became the first steam locomotive to haul a passenger train on a public railway. In doing so, in September 1825 it became the first steam locomotive to operate and haul a passenger train on a public railway. 2025 marks the 200th anniversary.

With the experience gained, Robert Stephenson & Co. submitted a design for the Rainhill Trials of 1829, held to find suitable motive power for the Liverpool & Manchester Railway. Their design, "Rocket", was the clear winner and formed the basis for the future L&MR steam locomotive design, which opened the following year.

By 1838, locomotive design had already moved forward, and 0-4-2 No. 57 'Lion', was one of two 'baggage' locomotives built to a Stephenson patent by Todd, Kitson & Laird of Leeds, also for the L&MR.

Attention:

Locomotion no. 1 is equipped with an 18-pin Next socket, but due to the size limitations of the locomotive, unfortunately it cannot accommodate an 18-pin HM7000 Next decoder.

The "Rocket" locomotive is equipped with a 6-pin socket.

The "Lion" locomotive is equipped with a Next 18 socket (NEM 662).
