Stephenson's Rocket: How did this Steam Pioneer Change the World? | Curator with a Camera

3D models provided by Geoff Birse. Check out his amazing work at https://sketchfab.com/GeoffreyBirse Built in 1829, Stephenson's Rocket found the winning formula for steam power and its innovations were adopted by steam locomotives for the ensuing 130 years. As Anthony Coulls reveals, there's more to Rocket than its reputation as a genuinely revolutionary piece of engineering. Across its nearly 200-year life, this pioneer of steam has been involved in a number of accidents and been used in a variety of applications. After a long stint at the Science Museum in London and the National Railway Museum in York, Rocket is currently based at Locomotion in Shildon, where it is on display next to its Rainhill Trials rival Sans Pareil. It will eventually return to the NRM in York, where it was filmed for this episode of Curator with a Camera.
