I have today been adding to my contributions to #Geograph from a holiday trip to the #Railway #Museum in #York.

I thought you would like this one, the #locomotive #Rocket, victor of the #RainhillTrials in 1829.

See https://rainhilltrials.co.uk/

The museum also has the replica built in 1979, now with the boiler sectioned for display of the revolutionary smoke tubes and blast nozzle.
