==Later productions== In addition to his duties on the Stockton and Darlington, Hackworth set up his own business in which his son, John Wesley Hackworth, fully participated.<ref name="Young, pp356" >[[#Young, 1923|Young, 1923]], pp.356 et seq</ref> This business produced a variety of machinery. [[File:Samsonloco.jpg|thumb|left|''[[Samson (locomotive)|Samson]]'', preserved at the [[Nova Scotia Museum of Industry]] ]] Notably, he built at [[Shildon railway works|Shildon]] in 1836, the first locomotive to run in Russia for the [[Tsarskoye Selo Railway]], of which his son was responsible for the safe delivery and preliminary trials. Also in 1838, the ''[[Samson (locomotive)|Samson]]'' was built for the Albion Mines Railway in [[Nova Scotia]], and was one of the first engines to run in Canada. One of his 1833 apprentices, [[Daniel Adamson]], later further developed his boiler designs and become a successful manufacturer (and influential in the inception of the [[Manchester Ship Canal]]). The last new locomotive design with which Timothy Hackworth was involved was the ''Sans Pareil II'', a "demonstrator" of 1849. This locomotive was an advanced 2-2-2 engine of the [[Jenny Lind locomotive|Jenny Lind]] type with 6 ft 6 in driving wheel, {{convert|1188|sqft|m2|abbr=on}} heating surface and some use of welding in the boiler construction. In performance, it fully lived up to expectations in regards to economy and load-hauling performance. Hackworth was so satisfied that he issued a public challenge to Robert Stephenson to pit his latest York Newcastle and Berwick locomotive, No. 190, against it in a trial. Nothing more was ever heard of this.<ref name="Young, pp328-329" >[[#Young, 1923|Young, 1923]], p.328-329</ref>
