Stephenson’s Rocket

September 20, 2010

Kris Kelvin made an incredible replica of the Stephenson’s Rocket, an early steam locomotive. As we would expect from Kris, the colors and overall design of the construction are just perfect.

Stephenson’s Rocket was an early steam locomotive of 0-2-2 wheel arrangement, built in Newcastle Upon Tyne at the Forth Street Works of Robert Stephenson and Company in 1829. – description by Kris Kelvin.

The Brothers Brick found in The Brick Testament this interesting picture of slavery on South of America prior to Civil War.

I’ll not discuss here the related passage of the Bible, but I confess that it surprised me (unless I understood it wrong).
