Preserved in all her glory at the National Railway Museum, York. Yorkshire. England.

 

Built as a streamlined locomotive in 1938.

She was one of 38 'Princess Coronation Class' steam locomotives capable of running at 90mph and more, pulling Anglo Scottish Express trains on the West Coast route.

Withdrawn from service in February 1964 and after being de-streamlined for many years was streamlined again (as seen here) in 2009.
