So, the TV and newspapers are full of the celebrations, as are our social media feeds.
Two hundred years ago today, Locomotion No.1 pulled the first (ish) train of paying passengers, on the new Stockton and Darlington Railway. Along with several coal chaldrons.
It marked one of the real beginnings of the railways, and the immense social change they brought.
So this is our desk. Just for today.
(For the record, Hornby Locomotion No.1., with two sets of Accurascale chaldrons).
