Catch me who can

Next year is the bicentennial of this event - the showing of Trevithick's locomotive 'Catch me who can' in Euston Square London - seen here in this print by Rowlandson in the National Library of Wales - it came off the track and this was seen by Trevithick as a failure and he retired from inventing. More here on Trevithick's engines and if this particular engine survived. Anyway, how about someone recreating this famous event? - I'd go see it.
