Liverpool & Manchester Railway 0-2-2 No. 'Rocket'

Posted by: Robin R Beck on Dec 8, 2018 @ 13:12:37
With the success of the Rainhill Trials Robert Stephenson & Co supplied 26 locomotives to the Liverpool and Manchester Railway within 3 years. Eight of them being similar to ROCKET.

ROCKET worked on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway from it's opening in 1830 until 1834. It was sold in 1836 to work on Lord Carlisle's Brampton Railway in Cumberland. It may have returned to the makers for an overhaul before going to Cumberland. The Brampton Railway was a horse drawn wagon way taking coal from various local coal mines to Brampton. In 1836 a new railway was built of 3 sections. Locomotive hauled at both ends and rope incline in the middle. ROCKET worked one section by itself.

It operated until 1840, then was stored out of use. It returned to the makers in 1851 for restoration, to be displayed at the Great Exhibition, but was never exhibited. It returned to owners in Cumberland.

In 1862 it was donated to the Patent Office Museum, South Kensington, London. In 1883 it moved, along with the whole museum collection to a new building nearby, which became the Science Museum. At present it is on loan to Manchester Science & Industry Museum. On display in the entrance hall, with plenty of public interest.

CFP 4-6-0 No. 248

Posted by: Dale W Fickés on Dec 6, 2018 @ 15:12:08
This is the last survivor of a class of 32 locomotives, built principally by A Borsig (22) and E. Kessler (6) in Germany with an additional four from J Cockerill in Belgium, between 1904 and 1926. Either originally (or at some time) what became CP No. 248 ran as SSE No. 91 following delivery from A Borsig as No. 5652 in 1905, later assuming the MD number of 61 until 1931, then CP No. 2261 until 1952 when it became, finally, No. 248.

In preservation, the locomotive, mistakenly, bears the Borsig manufacturing plate of No. 5651 (built a year later) but which ended up as CP No. 229. This may be a result of No. 248 going for a 'swim' in the Rio Douro following a landslide during its operational life. The locomotive was recovered from the waters; its original tender remains sunk!

London Midland & Scottish Railway 4-6-0 No. 45596 (5596) 'Bahamas'

But it is still hoped that No. 45596 "Bahamas" will be ready in time for its first mainline run on the 9th of February 2019 and to take part in the Spring Steam Gala on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway in March.
