There is also "The Adler" or the Eagle. While this is only available in German HO it is one of the few very early British locomotives. It was made in Newcastle or somewhere around there, by George Stephenson and exported to Germany. It is renowned in Germany as their first steam locomotive.

I wonder if it's because it's comparatively small?
