Immerse yourself in the world of railway modelling and enjoy a journey back to the age of these of these marvellous steam locomotives with our model kits.

In 1829 the Liverpool and Manchester Railway held the Rainhill Trials to find the best locomotive for their line.

The winner, from a field of five entries, was George Stephenson and his Rocket. This locomotive, which only weighed 4.2 tons, had a multi-tubular boiler, almost 6 ft long with a diameter of 3 ft 4 in, that was of great efficiency in terms of heat transfer. The pistons, in the cylinders, which were set at an inclined position, were coupled up to 4 ft 8 in diameter drive wheels, and she was capable of reaching speeds of up to 25 mph.

Because of her characteristics, the Rocket was the first useful and practical locomotive in terms of transporting passengers and goods, launching a new age in the history of transport.

You will find out, step by step, how to put together a model with all of the details of the original locomotive. We invite you to let yourself get carried away and set up spaces for creative leisure in which you can enjoy this marvellous model train.
