A static die-cast collectible display model of the historic Stephenson’s Rocket locomotive, dating from 1829. The set comprises three main components: the yellow and black locomotive, a yellow tender carrying a barrel, and a yellow and black passenger carriage. The carriage features the livery for the Liverpool Times Manchester Railway Company. The model is mounted on a textured black plastic display base which is inscribed with 1829: Stephenson’s Rocket in gold-toned lettering. This item appears to be part of a commemorative collectible partwork series, evidenced by the multilingual safety and collector information printed on the lower edge of the packaging in German, Hungarian, and Czech. The locomotive and rolling stock are constructed from a combination of die-cast metal and plastic components. The assembly is housed within its original transparent plastic blister-style packaging.
