| One of the oldest working steam locomotives in the world is the 0-4-2 Lion, which was built in 1838 by Todd, Kitson & Laird for the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. Twenty one years later, it was sold to the Mersey Docks along with other old engines and for the next seventy years it worked as a stationary pumping engine. The Lion was forgotten until it was accidently re-discovered in 1927. The Lion was then rescued and taken to Crewe works of the London Midland and Scottish Railway, where it was overhauled and restored as far as possible, to its original condition as a working railway locomotive.
Since then it has taken part in various railway anniversary celebrations and has also appeared in several films. Nowadays it resides in the Manchester Museum of Science & Industry. (See our more detailed history) |
