The Jenny Lind locomotive was the first of a class of ten steam locomotives built in 1847 for the London Brighton and South Coast Railway by E. B. Wilson and Company of Leeds named after Jenny Lind who was a famous opera singer of the period. The general design proved to be very successful that the manufacturers adopted it for use on other railways and it became the first mass-produced locomotive type.
