Hello all,
One of my fellow modellers here in France has acquired one of the rare(?) Hornby steam powered Rocket locos.
Does anyone else here owns one of these beauties too?
My friend is looking for a couple of additional things:
1) a copy of the user manual (English is OK)
2) pictures of the coaches
3) pictures of the special track(s)Hornby produced at the time.
Many thanks in advance if you can help him.
Marklin-istically yours,

I have one of those - best bet for photos and indeed buying the extras is to have a look on Ebay.co.uk - there are usually a few items about.

One thing to beware before steaming it, the seals in the gas cylinder may have perished (mine have). You can buy a new brass one and indeed a lot of other bits from here http://www.chasteam.com/stephensonssteamrocket.htm
