1/26 Rocket Locomotive |
Description This is a Plastic 1/26 1829 Stephenson Rocket Locomotive Train with Track. It's a skill level 2 model for ages 10 and up.
Facts George Stephenson, his son Robert, and Henry Booth were the three men who created the Rocket, won the Rainhill trials and established Stephenson's company as the foremost builder of railway locomotives in England. Of the five engines entered in the October 1829 trials, only the Rocket completed the course, exceeded all the requirements, and performed without incident. It has been written that the Rainhill Trials version rode like a horse because of the hammer-like blows from the twin cylinders which were directly coupled with the driving wheels. Shortly after the trials, the steeply angled cylinders were lowered to an eight degree pitch, resulting in improved crew comfort and a much smoother ride.
Features Plastic parts molded in gray, white, and yellow - painting is optional. Authentic 1/38 scale working model of the world's first steam locomotive that was suitable and practical for hauling both freight and passengers. Locomotive is a round barrel with a funnel steam pipe, small wheels in front, and significantly larger wheels in back. Locomotive carries a wooden box like cart, which currently holds a barrel; wheels on cart match the size of the locomotive's front wheels. Cart is three sided, open at one end for loading on items easier. Painting is optional, and paint colors are listed within informative instructions.
