Figure 37. — Model of John Bull and tender, in Notional Museum, showing ap- 

 pearance of original 1831 design. Note side rod connecting the two axles. 



Earlier, in 1927, a full sized replica of the tender had been 

 constructed at Altoona. This replica of the tender appeared 

 with the original locomotive at the Fair of the Iron Horse in 

 1927, but since 1930 the restored original tender has always 

 appeared with the original locomotive. In 1940, the replica 

 of the locomotive, accompanied by the replica of the tender, 

 appeared at the New York World's Fair as a moving exhibit, 

 while the original locomotive and tender appeared there as 

 a stationary exhibit. The repUca again appeared at the Chi- 

 cago Railroad Fair in both 1948 and 1949. When not on 

 exhibition, the replica is usually stored at the Pennsylvania's 

 enginehouse at Northumberland, Pa. 



A small, nonoperable model of the John Bull and its tender 

 (figure 37), with two of the cars of the 1831 period, together 

 about 6V2 feet long, was made in the National Museum by 

 C. R. Luscombe about 1900, and is included in the 

 Museum's collection (USNM 233510). The units are repre- 

 sented as the originals appeared in 1831, without the pilot 

 on the locomotive, and without the sides and top on the 

 tender.
