Presented by Dr Michael Bailey

 

The three Blenkinsop/Murray models are believed to be the world’s oldest locomotive models. 
Recent research has added further information about their history. 
The model now displayed at the Leeds Industrial Museum has been closely examined during the past twelve months revealing new information about its origin and purpose. 

The talk will be illustrated with detailed photographs of the model’s components taken during the study, including those taken with a CT scan
