As we all know, the real train in our daily life is one of the most important and necessary modern public transportation tool which is widely spread and used at present, and the train is also the typical and successful example that reflects and reveals how human take good use of fossil fuels and let the transportation tool move. Besides, the train also states these vehicles which can often work and run on the railway tracks, and it is always made up of many carriages, and it is also the most important and famous machines and equipments in the history of human being, and this kind of train was also called the steam locomotive in the early times, and it usually had its own independent railway tracks. So, let’s learn something important about the brief developed history of train toys as follows.
The first person that designed and researched the train was George Stephen Sun, who was born in a British mineral collection home in 1781. Also, when he was 18 years old, he was still lack of basic writing skills, however, he ignored other children’s laughing and still studied together with those children whose age was 7 or 8 years old in the class. After a long time, George Stephen Sun started to manufacture steam locomotive in 1810 and he was also determined to use steam locomotive he manufactured to carry and deliver the cargos and passengers on the railway tracks he constructed from Liverpool to Manchester in British in 1817, then the train started to enter into the stage of the history of human being.
Moreover, in 1804, a British mineral engineer whose name was Delhi Wisk, and he used the steam which was invented by Watt and manufactured the first steam locomotive in the world. Also, the steam engine of this steam locomotive was the single cylinder engine, and it could pull 5 carriages, and the top speed of it was 5 or 6 kilometers, and this steam locomotive regarded the coal and wood as its fuels, so people at that time also called it “fire vehicle”.
Furthermore, German Siemens electricity company researched and observed the first electricity locomotive in 1879, and the weight of it was around 954 kilos, and it preformed only once in the Berlin Trade Fair, and the first electric locomotive manufactured by German Siemens electricity company together with American General Electric Company was also put into use in 27th, October, 1903.
In addition, the first diesel locomotive was also successfully researched in Germany in 1894, and this kind of locomotive was used in the railway transportation aspect, which became the good beginning of diesel locomotive.
In a word, we really hope that all the important information mentioned above can be useful and helpful to all of you.
