Invicta was built by Robert Stephenson in 1829 for the Canterbury & Whitstable Railway. Only worked for ten years and then put into storage. Subsequently rescued and displayed at various locations it therefore became the first locomotive in the world to be preserved. In 1907 it was put on display in Canterbury where it sat (outdoors) for the next 70 years. In 1977 it was sent to the National Railway Museum in York for a full cosmetic restoration. Currently displayed at the Whitstable Museum.
