A further six ‘Planet’ type locomotives were subsequently ordered from Robert Stephenson \u0026amp; Co., with another three supplied by Murray \u0026amp; Wood in Leeds using drawings supplied by Stephenson. \u003cbr\u003eThe locomotive was withdrawn by 1841 as it was already obsolete due to rapid developments in locomotive design at the time. A working replica of ‘Planet’ was built in 1992 by Friends of the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hornby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58200376607104,"sku":"HOR-R30511","price":166.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/2858\/9896\/files\/R30511Planet.jpg?v=1780475245","url":"https:\/\/railsofsheffield.com\/products\/hornby-r30511-liverpool-manchester-railway-2-2-0-planet-steam-locomotive","provider":"Rails of Sheffield","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
