A scale model representing the 1825 Stockton and Darlington Locomotion No. 1, presented as a complete set featuring the steam locomotive, a coal tender, and a chaldron-style wagon. The model is finished in a uniform dark metallic grey and is mounted upon a black plastic plinth moulded as a section of railway track. The front of the display base is printed with the text 1825: Stockton & Darlington Locomotion No. 1 in yellow lettering. The chaldron wagon features white printed identification marks 282, L, and 2.9.2.
The model is contained within its original clear vacuum-formed plastic packaging. An adhesive barcode sticker on the side of the packaging includes the text FORTNIGHTLY £8.99 AUS/NZ $19.95, which identifies the item as an installment from a magazine subscription part-work series. Based on the model type and packaging format, it is consistent with series such as Locomotives of the World. The construction appears to be a combination of die-cast metal and high-detail plastic.
