Roland DXY-1150 pen plotter drawing the Adler steam locomotive

The Adler steam locomotive (1835) drawn by a 1980’s Roland DXY-1150 pen plotter, a rather hectic looking and sounding fellow. The Adler (“Eagle“) was a German steam locomotive built to order in 1835 by the British railway pioneers George and Robert Stephenson at a cost of 1750 pounds sterling. It was delivered to the Bavarian Ludwigsbahn (Bayerische Ludwigsbahn) which ran kilometre long between Nuremberg and Fürth. After running successfully for over twenty years the locomotive was scrapped in 1857.
