The Titfield Thunderbolt herself, but masquerading as Lion of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway in the display hall in the new Museum of Liverpool. It seems incredible to think that this veteran, built in 1838, steamed as recently as 1989. However, the work required now to allow her to steam safely would destroy too much conserved material so she will remain a static exhibit.
