A full-size working replica of an LNWR 'Bloomer' class locomotive was begun in 1986 at Tyseley Locomotive Works, but has not yet been completed.

Another full-size replica of the same type (but non-working) was built in Milton Keynes, and was exhibited outside the station there from 1991; it is now (2012) on a plinth near the site of the Wolverton Locomotive Works.

    —Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
