This is a replica built in the 1920's (1929 I think)? Another working replica was built in 1979. www.nrm.org.uk/OurCollection/LocomotivesAndRollingStock/C...

Turbina famously crashed the party at the 1897 naval review demonstrating the speed possible with turbine engines. See www.btinternet.com/~philipr/Parsons.htm
