With the experience they gained, Robert Stephenson & Co. entered a design for the 1829 Rainhill Trials, held to find suitable motive power for the Liverpool & Manchester Railway. Their entry, ‘Rocket’, was the clear winner and formed the basis for locomotive design on the L&MR, which opened the following year.
By 1938, locomotive design had already moved on, and 0-4-2 No. 57 ‘Lion’, was one of a pair of ‘luggage’ locomotives built to a Stephenson patent by Todd, Kitson & Laird of Leeds, also for the L&MR.
Please note:
Locomotion No.1 comes fitted with a Next 18 pin socket, but due to the locomotives size limitations sadly it cannot take a HM7000 Next 18 pin decoder.
The 'Rocket' locomotive comes fitted with a 6 pin socket.
The 'Lion' locomotive comes fitted with a Next 18 socket (NEM 662).
