MAUREEN Robinson asked was the Rocket she used to see at Darlington real or not (Letters, October 1). The steam locomotives she saw at Darlington Bank Top Station were George Stephenson’s Locomotion No 1 built in 1825 and Timothy Hackworth’s locomotive Derwent, built 1845. Both are now in The Head of Steam Railway Museum, Darlington.
