Information

Representing the formative years of steam-powered railways, these three locomotives were built between 1825 and 1838. The first is 'Locomotion No. 1', designed by George and Robert Stephenson. It was built at their factory in Newcastle for the opening of the Stockton & Darlington Railway, where it became the first to pull a passenger train on a public railway. This year, 2025, marks the 200th anniversary.

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.
