The Victorian Era - The Era of Culture and History
The Victorian era is supposed to be the era between the year 1840 and the year 1901. However some critics do say that the Victorian era started in the year 1837 itself. In fact I do agree with this fact and the year 1840 is just used as the approximation. This was the time when the queen Victoria ruled over the England. And hence on behalf of her name this period is called the Victorian Era.
The culture of the England during this period used to be very vast and lots of things were done during this period related to the art and culture. I have a lot to say about the culture of the Victorian era. But first let us think about the history.
The Victorian age is marked by the reign of the great Queen Victoria. She ruled between the years 1837 till 1901. Hence this era is known as the Victorian period or also the Victorian period. This period was the time of the prosperity and marks the broad imperial expansion. The period marks the beginning of the second English renaissance. You can call this age as one of the most complex ages as far as the England is concerned. It was this period which marks the beginning of the modern period.
The idea of the Marxism, socialism, feminism was quiet prominent during this period. The field of science and development saw a great change during this period. The invention of the Steam Engine during this period really marked the starting of the industrial revolution. England had many colonies around the world and during this time the England saw the revolt taking place in almost all the colonies.
Let us now talk about the culture. And it is really pleasing to talk about the culture during this period. The description is as follows:
Victorian literature
In fact I had a lot to say about the work being done during this period in the field of literature. The novels which were written by Charles Dickens, Oscar Wilde, Walter Scott, William Makepeace Thackeray, Trollope and Thomas Hardy are some of the best novels in the entire history of the art and literature of England. Especially Charles dickens became quiet famous among the readers.
There was some poetry as well which were written by Alfred Tennyson, Algernon Charles Swinburne, Lionel Johnson, Thomas Hardy, Gerard Manley Hopkins, A.E. Housman and Robert Browning. All these poetries are really the master piece.
The essays of Thomas Carlyle, John Henry Newman, John Stuart Mill, and Walter Pater too became quiet famous among the people throughout the world.
Hence this period is really among the best periods in the entire history of the England. And the most important achievement still was the beginning of the modern period.

What differences were there between the O and O27 gauge versions of the Lionel PRR S2 steam turbine?
The engine numbers were 671 and 2020 respectively. Were there any other differences?
The 027 version was designed for tighter turning radius: 27" instead of 32" otherwise they are practically identical. See Greenbergs guide to Lionel Trains.
