Three remarkable steam locomotives stand proudly, vying for a coveted £500 prize. The first locomotive, known as The Rocket, was designed by the ingenious Robert Stephenson from Newcastle. Its sleek design and innovative features made it an instant favorite among spectators. Next to it stands The Novelty, a creation by Messers Braithwaite and Erricsson hailing from London. This locomotive boasted unique characteristics that set it apart from its competitors. Finally, we have The Sanspareil crafted by Mr Hackworth of Darlington. With its distinctive appearance and cutting-edge technology, this locomotive aimed to revolutionize the railway industry. These three magnificent machines symbolize the golden age of train travel - an era when rail transportation was rapidly evolving thanks to groundbreaking inventions like these steam trains.
