Locomotive No.1

Locomotive, steam, No. 1, hauled the first passenger train in New South Wales in 1855, made by Robert Stephenson and Company, Newcastle-on-Tyne, England, 1854. The locomotive is a mixed traffic type featuring an 0-4-2 wheel arrangement. The valve gear is Stephenson's slide. The boiler is short with a brass steam dome cover while the chimney is tall and of a small diameter as was common at the time. The livery is green with a black smoke box and red buffers. When it arrived the locomotive had no protection from the elements for the driver and fireman on the footplate. A roof was added in 1865.
