We will also attach a rail for exhibition with a very precise and unique locomotive car running with Astor Hobby’s steam engine and a set of two passenger cars. Since it was kept in the cabinet, I think that the appearance will be a very rare collection without scratches and lack of parts. We hand over to the favorite one of the good old age railroad models and Astor Hobby. B & O Railway “Grasshopper”. By 1830 the steam locomotive was the most promising source for America’s new railway. This locomotive composition was created with a very unique design as a Grasshopper type by Phineas Davis, Roswinan, Peter Cooper, Israel Gartner’s creative spirit. The first unit appeared in Baltimore in 1832 and was named Pacific. It features a vertical boiler and two vertical cylinders that move overhead beams that move the crank mechanism linked to the front axle, weighing approximately 14,000 pounds. Because the front wheel and the rear wheel are connected, it becomes a four wheel drive car. Looking at the movement of the boldly shaped beam and the bar, this locomotive was similar to a giant grasshopper bouncing along the railroad, so it was called Grasshopper as a nickname and became a popular person at the time.
