In this particular pack, there are six cards, but instead of two locomotives these make up three of the early locos from the 1800's.

The pack was first produced in 1947, when it retailed for 1/3d. The price later went up to 2/6d in 1952 when this set was last produced.

The January 2008 edition of The Railway Magazine in the UK has a superb picture of replicas of Puffing Billy, Steam Elephant and Locomotion in steam together at Beamish in October 2007 (p4). If I had ready access to a scanner I'd scan it and post it.

I'll look for it here - it should be out around now.
