Locomotive: Steam Elephant
From Graces Guide
The original locomotive was designed by John Buddle and William Chapman in 1815, and built at Wallsend, with machined components from Hawks and Co.[1] [2]
A working replica, based on limited information, was constructed by Beamish Museum in 2001, and can occasionally be seen working on their Pockerley waggonway.
It was a very early example of an 0-6-0 wheel arrangement. The axles were gear-driven from the two crankshafts.
