"Rocket" (replica).


Stephenson's Rocket was an early steam locomotive of 0-2-2 wheel arrangement, built in 1829 at the Forth Street Works of Robert Stephenson and Company in Newcastle Upon Tyne. It was built for (and won) the Rainhill Trials held by the Liverpool & Manchester Railway in 1829 to choose the best design to power the railway. Though the Rocket was not the first steam locomotive, it was the first to bring together several innovations to produce the most advanced locomotive of its day.
It is the most famous example of an evolving design of locomotives by Stephenson and became the template for most steam engines in the following 150 years. The locomotive was preserved and is now on display in the Science Museum in London.
The earliest full-size replica of Rocket seems to have been the one depicted on a London & North Western Railway postcard (therefore pre-1923). A cut-away static replica was built in 1935 and displayed for many years next to the original at London's Science Museum and, in 1979, a further working replica Rocket was built by Locomotion Enterprises for the 150th anniversary celebrations. It has a shorter chimney than the original to the clear the bridge at Rainhill (the trackbed is deeper than in the 19th century, giving less headroom). Both of these replicas are now based at the National Railway Museum, York.
