hmmm it he used the wheel on thte left as an extra driving wheel it would go faster

@ibidydo may be, but it is afterall a replica of the original, therefore everything needs to come from the picture.

[ibidydo]

@toby070 true point. bt all in all wonderful engine

@toby070 Interesting note: If you want to see the original, it's boiler is preserved in the Science Museum, London.

[toby070]

@RedGemAlchemist the boiler of that engine SURVIVED?

woah, that is really an achievement in preservation, if everything else was kept then it would have been the oldest preserved enginme in the world.

Thanks for telling me, but scince I have not been in the Science museum for a long time, where can I find it? or is it in storage?

[RedGemAlchemist]

@toby070 Middle of the second room. You can't miss it, it's in the very centre of the room.
