Other definite relics of the Lion received from the Delaware and Hudson Canal Co. in 1888, from Lindsay and Early in 1890, from G. T. Slade in 1901, and from Mrs. Townsend Poore of Scranton, Pa., in 1913, include the boiler, one of the two cylinders, the two 6-foot-long walking beams ([figure 10]), and the 48-inch-diameter flanged metal tires of the four driving wheels.[1] These parts, with the exception of the walking beams, were many years ago reassembled at the National Museum into a reconstructed version showing somewhat the original appearance of the locomotive ([figure 11]).

At that time, the three crank rings from the wheels of the America, together with a fourth, duplicate ring made at the time of the reassembly, were unwittingly incorporated in the reconstruction. It is this version of the Stourbridge Lion that is now on exhibition. The gauge of the reassembly, furthermore, is 56½ inches, while that of the original is recorded as 51 inches.
Also exhibited in the National Museum is a small nonoperable model (USNM 215649) of the Stourbridge Lion with its tender, together about 2 feet long ([figure 12]), made by C. R. Luscombe in 1901 and rebuilt by Paul E. Garber in 1920.

A full sized operable replica ([figure 13]) was constructed in 1932 by the Delaware and Hudson Railroad Corp. and lent by them to the Wayne County Historical Society at Honesdale, Pa. The cylinder bore of the replica is ⁷/₁₆ inches, the stroke 36 inches. Since the outside dimensions of the original cylinder are approximately those of the replica, its working dimensions are probably also the same.
