Stephenson’s Rocket Replica having Steam Tests at Locomotion

thats so exiting seeing the rocket having steam tests

Cool 👍

Nice!

I just kinda hope this could be used like a day out with Thomas Event or something

HS2's new rolling stock.

Very cool! Gives an idea what the original was like.

Cool A Rocket

I think I have this in my train sim game!

I've especially wanted to mention that I personally seen another video featuring the replica of Stephenson's Rocket in action while they were also apparently goin' through how the original version of this fine old-fashioned steam locomotive with a wooden boiler is remarkably able to come to a safe stop w/o any brakes while the original version of the locomotive was basically over @ a science museum in Great Britain! They've especially got this replica that actually DOES completely have brakes since it's the law, but a nice man named Chris explained that they certainly DON'T try to use 'em by tryin' really hard to be as authentic as possible as they certainly could while demonstrating what the locomotive was basically like back in it's heyday!

I've absolutely noticed that the famous locomotive designed by Robert Stephenson himself known as the Stephenson's Rocket has a drive wheel diameter that's basically no unreasonably measured precisely to actually 1/4" more than the standard gauge tracks that it travels on SINCE standard gauge tracks are measured to be exactly 56.5" between the rails WHILE the drive wheels are measured to be exactly 56.75" in diameter SINCE I've absolutely had done some research by reading lots of interesting info from my own official Smithsonian train book multiple times! In fact, I personally got a specifically precise hunch that they must've researched the specifications of the famous locomotive designed by Robert Stephenson himself known as the Stephenson's Rocket BEFORE building each replica of the famous locomotive designed by Robert Stephenson himself known as the Stephenson's Rocket with the official modern standards! Nonetheless, they certainly MUST'VE learned the specifications very carefully BEFORE building each replica that DOES actually have every single 1 of the modern standards!

I'll bet the yanks would just love to see Rocket on a good will tour of the States.

FASCINATING FUN FACT: THE OFFICIAL WELL-KNOWN THOMAS & FRIENDS CHARACTER KNOWN AS STEPHEN A K A THE ROCKET HIMSELF WHO'S OFFICIALLY BEEN INTRODUCED IN THE OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL WELL-KNOWN THOMAS & FRIENDS TV SHOW'S OWN OFFICIAL COMPLETE FULL CGI ANIMATION ERA STARTING DIRECTLY OVER FROM THE MOVIE THAT'S OFFICIALLY TITLED KING OF THE RAILWAY WITH NARRATION BY MARK MORAGHAN HIMSELF IN BOTH ENGLISH DUBS CERTAINLY HAPPENS TO ACTUALLY BE TOTALLY BASED ON THIS OFFICIAL STEAM-DRIVEN RAILWAY TENDER LOCOMOTIVE RESPECTFULLY!
