    Default Stephenson's Rockets

    An interesting article from 1884 regarding the 1829 and 1830 Rockets.

    The Project Gutenberg eBook of Scientific American Supplement, OCTOBER 25, 1884

    I have never been a real steam buff but I have always thought the '29 Rocket to be a visual delight. Exposure to the locomotives in Prague has piqued my interest.
