The DeWitt Clinton steam train was built in 1831 and named for the governor of New York. It was the first working steam locomotive built for service in the state.
I built this model because I have long had a fondness for the train’s design, with cars that look like stage coaches. It includes the engine, a supply car, and two coaches. The wagon wheels fit on regular straight and curved LEGO track pieces, but not on flex track pieces.
I believe this set would be of interest to train enthusiasts, especially those who are interested in locomotive history. They would make a great addition to a museum set (the original is in the Henry Ford museum in Michigan), in a historical park, or nostalgia ride.
