		Rocket is unlikely to have been built much after 1882, as Kinder goes on to say in his paper that two six-coupled tank locos were purchased from Robert Stephenson and Co in 1882 and "the Rocket was then consigned to shunting work and light ballast trains".

	The K-Zone: A guide to heritage railways for parents
		Although the centre is open most days in the summer, they only run the steamers on Wednesdays and Sundays even in the most busy part of the year, so make sure you check before you travel.
		In fact, the railway does not seem to be overly keen on attracting children, and the proportion of under-fives seemed to be somewhat lower than I've seen on any other steam railway.
		Although it isn't a `miniature' railway in the traditional sense (crew and passengers get inside the train, rather than sitting on top of it), the Perrygrove is probably one of the most compact railways open to the public.

		In so doing, the lines also serve the towns and villages of Buckinghamshire many of which were immortalised by the poet John Betjaman as Metro Land after the Metropolitan Railway which served them.
		Unlike most other railway companies, the Metropolitan had direct interests in many of the estates that were built and their success can be seen in many of the estates built before and after World War One in Willesden, Wembley, Eastcote, Pinner, Rickmansworth and Amersham.
		All services north of Amersham are today operated by Chiltern Railways using modern turbo-diesel trains while the Metropolitan continues to use the 1960's stock (classified A60), which have recently been updated and refurbished, on their services to Baker Street, Moorgate and Aldgate.

		The line eventually reached the village of Brill itself in 1872, a response to the local villagers who felt that their village would benefit from a connection to the main railway network.
		Single track throughout, the little line connected with the Metropolitan at Quainton Road and the line was soon a success despite the fact that the journey took over an hour because of the frequent stops at the various crossing places on the line.
		This museum at the former Quainton Road station of the Metropolitan Railway includes many exhibits of interest to followers of LT railways, not the least of which is the ex-Metropolitan 0-4-4T of 1898 and an ex-GWR, ex-LT 0-6-0PT dating from 1930.
