He wanted a actual 1860's historic 4-4-0, but nobody would sell him one. So he built it. And he founded a company that builds steam locomotives. They're supposedly working on larger designs now.

Pic is John Bull's 1980 live steam run. It was 149 years old at the time

The John Bull. Purchased from Robert Stephenson and Company in England for the Camden and Amboy Railroad in the U.S. John Bull was originally an 0-4-0 Planet Class locomotive but was modified with a pilot axle for the rough track found on the Camden and Amboy. She remained in regular service until 1866 when she was retired and donated to the Smithsonian Museum. The John Bull was put on static display for the next 150 years, though she did tour and was "powered"for her 100th anniversary by compressed air for a static display. For her 150th Anniversary Museum officals determined the the locomotive was in suprisingly good condition and an inspection of her boiler revealed it would be safe to operate at a reduced pressure of 50 psi. On September 15, 1981 the John Bull ran for several miles under her own power making her the oldest operational locomotive in the U.S.
