After making an appearance at the 1939 New York Worlds Fair,
this large powerful locomotive was returned to the UK and spent its working life on prestige passenger trains for the LMS and British Railways,
clocking up over 1.4 million miles in the process.
It was returned to running order in 1980 and became a popular sight on the main lines of Britain.
It is now a static exhibit, and occupies a prime spot in the main hall of the National Railway Museum.
