Author Caroline Hardie will be telling the tale from her book Little Loco's Big Day as part of the Richmond Walking & Book Festival.
Little Loco is the first locomotive, now known as Locomotion No.1, which ran on the Stockton & Darlington Railway. Steam powered with a mighty hoot, the nervous Little Loco has to pull Wonky Waggons along the railway on the opening day in 1825. Trouble brews when the Wonky
Waggons grumble because they want to be pulled by horses, not locomotives. Herald the Horse is worried that he will lose his job if Little Loco is too useful. Can Little Loco find good friends to
help her?
Another performance takes place at Catterick Library DL9 3EL on 20th August at 2.00pm
