A set of six stamps was issued by Royal Mail to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the first steam locomotive journey. These feature a selection of working steam locomotives travelling on preserved railways throughout the U.K. The goal was to include a broad spread of locomotive build dates, equal balance between the major railway companies, and a good geographical spread across the U.K. The panoramic stamp format enhances the drama and movement of the locomotives.
