Perseverance was damaged on the way to the trials and Burstall spent the first five days trying to repair his locomotive. It ran on the sixth and final day of the trials but only achieved a speed of 6 mph. Burstall and Hill were awarded a consolation prize of £25.
Burstall and Hill used roller bearings for the axles, an important step in locomotive development.[1] The design, adapted from a road-going steam coach, incorporated 2 cylinders, a vertical boiler and weighed 2.9 tons.
