LNWR McConnell "Bloomer" class 2-2-2 No (Replica) at Wolverton Railway Works

Seventy-four "Bloomers" were built between 1851 and 1862. The name “Bloomer” was at first a nickname, but was quickly adopted officially. The nickname was a topical one in the autumn of 1851 when the first engine arrived on the line, because of the current popular excitement aroused by the appearance of women wearing trousers, as advocated by Mrs Amelia Bloomer. This accurate full-size non-working replica was built for static display outside Milton Keynes station in 1991; it represented the type as in 1873–76 condition, was numbered 1009 as if to follow the last of the class, 1008, and was named Wolverton to commemorate the LNWR Southern Division Works, although no engine was so named on the company. It was taken into Wolverton Works in 2006 for renovation and repainting. The renovation was funded and carried out by Knorr-Bremse Rail Services at Wolverton Works. On 3 March 2017, the replica was moved to its new home at Milton Keynes Museum.
