Picked this up at a flea market the other week. Not my usual area of collecting but I thought it was cute and would look good on my shelf - which it does.
It is a small scale (about matchbox size) model of Stevenson's Rocket, the first passenger locomotive. I found the loco first and then the tender while rummaging through an everything's £1 box. Took a while to convince the stall holder they belonged together and so should cost a pound for both. Well, you have to haggle don't you.
What a great find !!!
Well done YOU !!!!
elanski, you did very well!! These do look pretty cool together!
Acceptable. Which is to say it is a great piece.
