Item # 18133

This first steam locomotive designed by English inventor Richard
Trevithick has been reproduced in this snap together, operational
kit. The original used a single vertical cylinder, 8 ft.
flywheel and long piston rod. It was the first steam engine to
successfully run on rails. It turned the exhaust up the chimney
to produce a draft which helped draw the fire?s hot gases
forcefully through the boiler. It travelled at a speed of 5 miles
an hour on its first trip, pulling ten tons of iron, 70
passengers and five wagons

No glue, no paint no tools needed.
Easy to assemble following detailed instructions
Display stand included
Spring powered piston and gear move
