Hello Everyone ...as we've brought this "point to make a fact"
from Wind @WW and Wind Turbines, and hens not laying eggs
quoting some source about the event of the Painhill Trials
of the ROCKET in 1829. Newspaper clippings from the
period only mention a MP for Parliament killed, as the
ROCKET by Stephenson and company won the trials hands down.
Then by progressions... well we got away from the fact, which
was a bogus claim, to other steam engines, and there of could
we look for the real locomotive that was a railway , first
and that ...many thanks to family in England....goes to...
guess what? "Puffing Billy" 1813-1814, by William Hedley
< Engineer> Jonathan Forester < Enginewright> Timothy Hackworth
< Blacksmith >.
The replica is at the Beamish Museum, where it has been doing
demos since 2006.
Also of note is Warren's mention of Boats...Steam boats...
Paddle Wheelers. One of "Puffy Billy's" sister locomotives
called " Wylam Dilly" ... was designed for use on the Wylam
waggonway...but also of note... in 1822 was the power for
a Steamboat on the River Tyne.
Both originals are on display to this day.
