Externally, they don't appear all that different. I need to do some videos on Trevithick's engines, since he's really where both high-pressure steam (over 15psi, non-atmospheric) engines began, as well as the first locomotives. Unfortunately, I have yet to find a single Trevithick engine even a replica, in North America. I keep hoping for more patreon members so I can go shoot in England.
Also, a dim not having a go or anything - and I know you’ve included it - but the Industrial Revolution started very much with water power, not steam. Richard Arkwright/Slater the Traitor etc :)
I definitely agree with the water and wind power starting the Industrial Revolution, although I know a lot of people don't. I have some videos of that, and I'm working on more. Great Brittan had quite a few giant, water-powered factories, mills, etc. There were some big ones on the east coast of the US, but just small stuff around the mid-west, where I live. Haven't found a big one that's still intact that will also let me film yet, but I'm hoping to this winter.
The Rocket replica is inside at Henry Ford Museum. The Edison steam locomotive that passed me pulling a passenger train is just outside in Greenfield Village. Both are Dearborn, MI, USA.
The Raintree what? Your channel is really good to be fair but you need to iron out these silly mistakes because it got a whiff of the usual ‘disrespectful American’ it’s not your history so balls. I genuinely don’t ieve that is your nature of course, but I’m not the evil, baying crowds who frequently UA-cam.
Just went and rewatched it again. Looks like one "raintree" did slip through. I thought i got a text correction on the screen for that, but looks like it's not there. Hopefully I don't give the "disprespectful american" feel in my videos. When it comes to steam, there were generations of steam power (I'm thinking Newcomen and Trevithick, for example) that never even made it to the states. One channel goal is to start getting enough revenue from it to actually go see and film some of the stuff there that we never got here. Some of the canals, and the really old mine water pumping stuff are really impressive, too.
One thing I've always wondered is what the valve gear on early locomotives looked like.

What location is this?

Stevenson's "Rocket" is a legend. I dunno about nowadays, but it was in several of my textbooks covering technology and history 🚀
@@bradleyd.thornton5963 My history books, too. In fact, I'm pretty sure those same books incorrectly called it the first steam locomotive.
