The Rocket - this locomotive was built by George Stevenson at Newcastle-on-Tyne in
The Rocket - this locomotive was built by George Stevenson at Newcastle-on-Tyne in 1829 to compete for a prize of ?500 offered by the directors of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway Company for the best locomotive which could at that time be produced. Five locomotives by different makers were entered for the competition which was won by the Rocket after what, in those days, were considered very exhaustive and severe tests. The Rocket weighed four and a half tons
