Lottery funding 2006
It was Trevithick's fourth locomotive and the world's first locomotive to haul fare-paying passengers, at a "Steam circus" in Bloomsbury, London.
[[Trevithick 200]] was formed in 2008 to celebrate the bicentenary by building a replica of this locomotive. It was financed in part by a £10,000 [[:Category:Lottery funding | Lottery community fund grant]] and a £2,300 contribution from Bridgnorth Town Council.<ref>[https://www.tnlcommunityfund.org.uk/funding/grants/0030041930 National Lottery 28 November 2006] (Retrieved 13 April 2021)</ref><ref>[https://www.shropshirestar.com/entertainment/attractions/2021/04/13/full-steam-ahead-as-severn-valley-railway-celebrates-locomotive-pioneer/ Andrews, M., 'Full steam ahead as Severn Valley Railway celebrates locomotive pioneer', Shropshire Star, 13 April 2021] (Retrieved 13 April 2021)</ref> Construction is taking place at [[Bridgnorth]]. The Catch Me Who Can [http://www.catchmewhocan.org.uk/news.html news page] has many pictures of progress since 2010.
Although still incomplete, the locomotive visited the Dutch national railway museum in Utrecht in late summer 2014 as part of an exhibition to mark the 175th anniversary of railways in Holland. The 2014 photograph shows the locomotive just before departure.
