Hold on tight to that throttle, because you're about to be transported back to the earliest days of steam locomotion in the United States of America! The John Bull is considered to be the first practical and successful locomotive operated in the United States. Originally built by Robert Stephenson and company as a inside cylinder 0-4-0, it was shipped to the Camden and Amboy Railroad where it was found to struggle on the poorly engineered early trackage. These troubles were resolved by adding a front pony pilot / cow catcher as well as removing the coupling between each set of driving wheels, ultimately turning this locomotive into a 4-2-0 Wheel configuration. Build this unique piece of history, and relive the earliest days of railroading in the USA!

The always popular 0-6-0 Terrier is an iconic outline, made famous through preservation and pop culture. Originally constructed for the LB+SCR railway by William Stroudley in 1872, they quickly became knick named Terriers due to their unique sharp bark of exhaust heat! Top speed of these little locomotives was known to peak around 60 mph or 97 km/h, which truthfully sounds like a exhilarating footplate experience. The bulk of these locomotives were removed from service in 1963 but Many of these petite machines still exist today in preservation.
