Made a long-put-off visit to Hopetown yesterday to see the railway pioneers – three moving engines that ignited the railways – Penydawen, the Steam Elephant, and good old Locomotion 1. Important in a historical sense, but first impression is a scrapman’s dream. Closer inspection reveals boilers, pistons, cogs, flywheels, and the like that somehow made the transition from a drawing to moving reality.
