Locomotion No.1 by John Hansen

Now preserved for posterity in the Darlington Railway Museum, Co. Durham, England, Locomotion No.1 was built by George Stephenson.   It hauled the first-ever passenger train on its 'maiden' trip from Darlington to Stockton, a distance of 14 miles on Tuesday, September 27th, 1825.

This beautifully detailed model of John's is based on a plan published in the July 1978 Meccano Magazine.
