Paper Trevithick

A paper model of the 1804 Trevithick Peny Darren. A Welsh locomotive that set out to haul five wagons carrying 10 tons of iron and 70 men over 9.75 miles. It was too heavy for the rails, but did complete the journey, winning a large bet for its owner. I completed this from a book of 50 supposedly “easy-to-make” models.

Photo from a couple years ago when I met Jimmy DiResta at the World Maker Faire in NYC and we compared “makers’ hands”. I was reminded of this recently and had to look for the photo so I could preserve it here. Jimmy DiResta among other great things, has a YouTube channel here
