British Rail Pillows

A British Railways (BR) Western Region (WR) poster to promote travel to Wales, showing a steam locomotive travelling through the Welsh countryside, circa 1960. - Please Note: These are old posters which means they were not always printed straight and level so please don't be surprised to see some slight angle differences around the edges of the adverts or some slight imperfections in the images. -

It is often thought that 'Rocket' was the first steam locomotive ever built, but this is not the case. It was built in 1829 and was the most advanced steam locomotive at the time, bringing together several innovations that made it stand out at the Rainhill Trials. Rocket is therefore famous as it it took a big leap forward with locomotive technology. If someone see you with this design, you'll be able to tell them all about it when they inevitably tell you that they recognise 'Rocket' as the first steam locomotive ever built (which was incidentally built by Richard Trevithick in the early 1800s).
