Fuzzpault posted this fascinating model on his YouTube channel. The Stourbridge Lion was the first locomotive operated in the United States, and was the first to be operated outside of England, according to an article on Widipedia. It was manufactured in 1828, and the parts that remain are on display at the B & O Railroad Museum at Baltimore, MD. Building a model of this quality is truely a labor of love.
The Wayne County Historical Society is the current owner of this operational model. They also display the full size replica in their museum right next to the display of the 'Cub' as we are calling this model.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the information, Fuzzpault! That museum has been added to my list of "must see places."
