Working model with Stephenson's Rocket
Re: Working model with Stephenson's Rocket
Hi All,
Just finished doing all the wood work on the model case. Needs a good rub down and stain. I decided to make some rails and sleepers so the Rocket looks like it's sat on the track. Just noticed that there are bits of red paint on the wheels. I often wonder why this rocket was never used.

Hi Jerry, sorry for the late reply. I have done a bit more work on the rocket. Made some rails and sleepers and the four bits of tube to hold the rocket up. Have been feeling a bit rough these last few weeks, been testing and all clear. Hope you are keeping well. Miss our arcade, Pete.

The Royal York Hotel had one of these for years... Wonder what happened to it?pennymachines wrote: ↑Sun Aug 08, 2021 1:26 pm The one with the cover removed is from the National Railway Museum.
