A replica of "Puffing Billy". Unlike most of its contemporaries,
Puffing Billy survives. Many of the other replicas of early locomotives were built based on contemporary drawings or paintings.
The pistons drive gear wheels. The resultant gear train drives the locomotive. It would be at least another decade before pistons directly drove the driving wheels.
