newspapers, for there will be many centen- 

 aries to celebrate during the next few years, 

 and what can they be without the finest of 

 the single-driver class? In any case I'm 

 relieved to think she has reached that siding 

 in the railway museum, and there I hope 

 she is safe from such vandals as my good 

 friend at King's Cross! 



It is just possible that Stephenson's 

 famous " Locomotion " and Hackworth's 

 " Derwent ", both at present end to end 

 on pedestals at Bank Top Station, Darling- 

 ton, may come here too, though there is 

 no immediate intention of removing them. 

 Then there is the Dandy Coach at Waverley 

 Station, Edinburgh, an interesting relic in- 

 deed, used for many years to work the 

 passenger traffic on the Port Carlisle branch 

 of the old North British Railway. It was 

 pulled by a horse, not a locomotive. An- 

 other locomotive which might one day 

 come to York, too, is the " Billy " built in 

 1830, for the Killingworth Colliery, where 

 George Stephenson did a great deal of his 

 experimental work.
