English: A steam carriage invented by John Scott Russell in 1834, with two cylinders developing 12 horsepower each. Six were constructed, well-sprung and fitted out to high standard, which ran between Glasgow and Paisley at hourly intervals. The road trustees objected that it wore out the road and placed various obstructions of logs and stones in the road, which actually caused more discomfort for horse-drawn carriages. But eventually one of the carriages was overturned and the boiler blew up causing the death of several passages. Two of the coaches were sent to London where they ran for a short time between London and Greenwich.
