A replica of the original locomotive in the Star Class. It does contain some of the parts of the original engine of the name.
North Star was built by Robert Stephenson and delivered to the GWR n 1837. On the 31st May 1837 it worked the inaugural train carrying the company’s directors. It continued in service until 1871 but was kept on static display at Swindon until 1903 when the decision was decided to scrap it. A total of 12 Star class locomotives were built.
