Novelty locomotive - Ericsson and Braithwaite Partnership.
During the late 1820s Ericsson and Braithwaite were working together building horse drawn fire engines with steam pumps. These used a boiler designed by Ericsson and were built in the London works of John Braithwaite.
These fire engines were known for their ability to raise steam quickly and looked very similar to Novelty.
Charles Vignoles has also been associated with Novelty, but his practical involvement is know known. He may have aligned himself ...

| | | | 0-4-0: Encyclopedia II - B - History The letter B probably started as a pictogram of the floorplan of a house in Egyptian hieroglyphs or the Proto-semitic alphabet.
By 1500 BC, the Phoenician alphabet's letter had a linear form that served as the basis for all later forms, which appeared in both the angular and more rounded forms. Its name must have corresponded closely to the Hebrew beth.
When the Ancient Greeks adopted the alphabet, they changed its name to beta and turned the letter upside-down and later added a second loop. In earlier Greek inscriptions, the l ...

| | | | 0-4-0: Encyclopedia II - John Bull locomotive - Smithsonian Institution and locomotive restoration At the exhibition in 1883, the Pennsylvania Railroad ended up resolving two problems at once. In the Smithsonian Institution, the railroad was able to find a home for the historic locomotive as well as a suitable new employer for a young civil engineer named J. Elfreth Watkins. Watkins had been involved in an accident on the railroad in New Jersey a few years before the exhibition. In the accident, he had lost a leg so he was no longer suited to the physical demands of railroad work (although the railroad did employ him as a clerk for a whil ...

| | | | 0-4-0: Encyclopedia II - Railway engines Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends - Rusty Rusty is a diesel engine on the Narrow Gauge railway. He was one of many engines to make the transition from TV Series from The Railway Series, however his appearance is significantly different. In the TV Series, Rusty is mostly orange, whereas he was painted black in The Railway Series.
This little diesel carries out all the odd jobs on the narrow gauge railway, from repairing the track to clearing up after accidents. He is a fearless and practical sort of engine, who is well respected by all. Even Duncan was forced to admit that Rusty has his uses.
Rusty is based on a Rus ...

He is a green engine, with nameplates and the number 4 on both his sides. Like Sir Handel. He is also known for his special funnel; following an accident with some trucks, his funnel became 'wobbly', and fell off when it hit an icicle in a tunnel. The Fat Controller gave him a strange-looking new one. The other engines made fun of this new funnel until they discovered how useful it was.
Peter Sam came from the same railway as Sir Handel and Duke, and was known there as Stuart. He was b ...
