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 \u003cbr\u003eThe locomotive was withdrawn by 1841 as it was already obsolete due to rapid developments in locomotive design at the time.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\r\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's in the box?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cul\u003e\r\u003cli\u003e1x Model Locomotive\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003e1x Accessory Pack\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003cli\u003e1x Instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\r\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"HORNBY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45254088556567,"sku":"R30511","price":295.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/6637\/4935\/files\/R30511.jpg?v=1782873672","url":"https:\/\/www.hobbyvault.com.au\/products\/hornby-1-76-l-mr-planet-locomotive","provider":"Hobby Vault Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
