Join us FREE for the Robert Stephenson & Co. Bicentenary celebration in collaboration with the Robert Stephenson Trust.

‘Stephenson Survivors Worldwide’, by Anthony Coulls, Senior Curator of Rail Transport & Technology, National Railway Museum

A major part of Robert Stephenson & Co. and latterly Robert Stephenson & Hawthorn’s production was locomotives for export. Anthony’s talk will look at some of the surprising survivors around the globe.

About the Robert Stephenson Trust

The Robert Stephenson Trust was formed in 1988, initially to help save the last substantial part of what had once been the works of ‘Robert Stephenson & Co’ until 1904.

Today the Robert Stephenson Trust promotes the achievements of one of the greatest engineers of the Nineteenth Century with the aim of making today’s generation aware of his achievements and inspire a new generation of engineers through his achievements.
