The design is based on the historic locomotive created by George Stephenson, presented in 1829 during the Liverpool and Manchester Railway competition. The original locomotive weighed 4.2 tons and featured a multitubular boiler approximately 6 feet in length with a diameter of 3 feet 4 inches, known for its efficient heat conduction. Cylinders positioned at an incline were connected to driving wheels with a diameter of 4 feet 8 inches, enabling speeds of up to 25 miles per hour. With these characteristics, it became one of the first practical locomotives for both passenger and freight transport, marking an important milestone in the history of transportation.
