Following the success of the introduction of the LNER's first streamlined service, the Silver Jubilee in 1935, the company decided to celebrate the Coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in 1937 with the introduction of another service "The Coronation". This first ran between London King's Cross and Edinburgh Waverley on 5 July 1937 - this booklet is the version issued for the following year and dated 2 May 1938.
In common with The Silver Jubilee, and the West Riding Limited that was introduced in 1938, the service was an high speed express with a wide range of premium services that attracted an additional surcharge. Again, specially constructed train sets were introduced including a beaver-tailed observation coach, and the units were hauled by the company's A4 locomotives - trains ets and locomotives in the then special 'garter blue' livery seen in this publicity booklet.
The booklet is printed by the Baynard Press and exceeds even the usually high standards of the LNER with careful attention paid to the graphic design, typography and layout with the use of metallic inks. The artwork is by one of the LNER's best known poster artists, Frank Parkinson Newbould.

BK-900 "Burgermeister Rex" -- clearly this creation is the byproduct of what happens when I'm brainstorming what to build next, and I suddenly get really hungry.
In all truthfulness, on one weekend afternoon I sat and pondered what sort of whimsical thing to build, when I realized I hadn't eaten all day. I then came up with the idea of the iconic Burger King "King" piloting a bipedal mechwarrior Whopper!
The construction was rather streamlined and straightforward, with many of the design aspects borrowed from last year's Mecha Mouse. The only real challenge was in the brainstorming phase when I was considering building a rival McDonald's mech unit, but alas didn't want to spend $20 on a custom-printed Ronald McDonald minifigure from eBay. Maybe I'll just build a Colonel Sanders one next instead.
Fact: during construction, I actually took a break and went to my nearest Burger King for lunch and inspiration. I ate four regular burgers, a large order of fries, and 20 chicken nuggets.
Fact: I have a severe food intolerance for mayonnaise, which means I'm unable to eat a Whopper anyway. This is why I only eat plain hamburgers with nothing but ketchup.
New York Central 4-6-4 Hudson streamlined steam locomotive # 5449, is seen leading the 20th Century Limited across a mainline bridge at Peekskill, New York, 1941. The locomotive for the most part not making much smoke, however, there is a small cloud of smoke in the background over the train. Photo courtesy of an unknown source.

490 is the sole surviver of only four streamlined Hudson type (4-6-4) locomotives owned by the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad. Because of their colors, they were sometimes called "Yellowbellies". It was rebuilt by the C&O in 1946 from a Pacific type (4-6-2) locomotive. The original Pacific was built by the Richmond division of the American Locomotive Company (ALCO) in 1926. 490 was donated to the Baltimore & Ohio Museum in Baltimore, MD in 1971 from the C&O Historical Collection. It is also the only surviving streamlined (shrouded) Hudson. Some may call this ugly. I call it classic and am thrilled that it has been saved in its streamlined livery from the scrapper's torch.

U2 - No Line On The Horizon Live in Dublin

There are two reasons why a person faces the sea.
One, to enjoy a slice of shine in the sea like children bubbling over in the beach.
The other, to brush the dust of memory like an old man who misses old days, staring at the shine
quietly.
Those lead to only one meaning though they do not seem to overlap. It’s a rebirth.
I face myself to change tomorrow, a vague day into something certain.
That is the meaning of a rebirth.
I had a very sweet girlfriend when I was 18.
After she left, I knew the meaning of gentleness for the first time and also a true pain of loss. After
she left, how many times did I depend too much on her, doubt her, envy her and keep on telling lies
until I realized it is love?
I wonder whether a nobody like me could have given something to her who was struggling in the
daily life in those days. Giving something is arrogant conceit. It is nothing but self-satisfaction.
I had been thinking about such a thing.
However, I guess what she saw in me was because I had nothing. That‘s why she tried to see
something in me. Perhaps she found a slight possibility in me, a guy filled with ambiguous, unstable
tomorrow. But I wasted days depending too much on her gentleness.
Now I finally can convey how I felt in those days when we met.

New York Central streamlined Henry Dreyfuss styled J-3a class ALCO 4-6-4 Hudson steam locomotive 5450, leads a city bound lightweight 20th Century Limited passenger train while passing the ERIE 14th Street Freight House in Chicago, Illinois, ca 1940's. The end of the tender blended right end with the contour of the passenger train consist. You can see the engineer is his cab window. This Hudson has the Scullin Disc Drivers installed. The heavyweight car situated on the right side of the photo behind the train is an Illinois Central coach.
This photo came from my New Haven Railroad photo collection and the photographers name was not provided. Any credit for this photo must be provided to the original photographer.

New Haven DER-1b ALCO DL-109 locomotive # 0723, is seen spotted near the Charles Street coaling tower at Providence, Rhode Island, mid 1950's. The ALCO DL-109 is one of the frist truley successful dual purpose diesel electric locomotive produced in the United States, used for both passenger and freight service. This locomotive was delivered to the New Haven in 1944, and eventually by 1945 they had a fleet of 60 DL-109 locomotives. There is nothing quite like the sound of these locomotives in operation when you hear the deep sound of the twin six cylinder 539-T prime movers utilizing turbo chargers that churp away to a whistling sound when they really rev up. Many times these locomotives were operated in matched pairs and their sound was tremendous spelling NEW HAVEN all the way. These locomotives are considered art deco streamlined beauties by some, ugly by others or carp faced engines. This is my favorite diesel electric locomotive.
The name of the photographer that took this photo is unknown. This photo is from the Mac Seabree Collection, Al Chione identified slide.

The Pavilion is an International Style building constructed in 1935 and considered by some to be in an Art Deco style. Some claim it to be the first major Modernist public building in Britain, although it was actually preceded by some months by the Dutch-influenced Hornsey Town Hall. It is located on the sea front in Bexhill-on-Sea, East Sussex.
It was the result of an architectural competition initiated by Herbrand Sackville, 9th Earl De La Warr, after whom the building was named. A committed socialist and Mayor of Bexhill, he persuaded the town council to develop the site as a public building. The competition for the design attracted more than 230 entrants and the winners, Eric Mendelsohn and Serge Chermayeff, were leading figures in the Modern Movement.
The aesthetics employed in the International Style proved especially suited to the building, tending towards streamlined, industrially-influenced designs, often with expansive metal-framed windows, and eschewing traditional brick and stonework in favour of concrete and steel construction. Amongst the building's most innovative features was its use of a welded steel frame construction, pioneered by structural engineer Felix Samuely. Construction began in January 1935 and the building was opened on 12 December of the same year by the Duke and Duchess of York (later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth).
During WWII, the Pavilion was used by the military and amongst those who served there was noted comedian Gunner Spike Milligan.
In 1986 the Pavilion was granted Grade I listed Building status and in 1989 the Pavilion Trust was formed to protect and restore the building. In 2005, after an restoration and regeneration programme, the Pavilion reopened as a contemporary arts centre.
In 1998, the Pavilion Trust launched an appeal to replace the Pavilion's aging bandstand. After an RIBA competitive interview process, the contract to design the bandstand was given to award-winning architect Niall McLaughlin. The Bandstand's shell-like canopy is engineered to provide near perfect acoustics and at the same time mirror its seafront location.
The simple white finish and ultra modern steel, plywood & fibreglass construction of the bandstand, are a perfectly complement to the modernist aesthetics and innovative construction techniques of the De La Warr Pavilion. The bandstand itself is movable, allowing it to be relocated to different areas of the terrace according to the season, or in order to accommodate the varying needs of performances. The Bandstand was officially unveiled on 8 December 2001.
Beyond the Bandstand, in Marina Court Avenue can be seen a terrace of Grade II listed Edwardian "Moghul" inspired houses, taking its architectural influence from the Indian Raj style.
An undated photo showing the single Škoda-manufactured ČSD streamlined Class 386 steam locomotive ever built. Originally delivered in 1927, this locomotive was later upgraded with a streamlined cover in 1937 and used on the Bratislava-Vienna route until about 1939. It remained in service until March 1948 and was then scrapped.
Die Lokomotive ČSD 386.001 war eine Schlepptenderlokomotive der Tschechoslowakischen Staatsbahnen (ČSD) für den Schnellzugdienst. Sie erhielt 1937 als einzige tschechoslowakische Lokomotive eine Stromlinienschale nach dem Vorbild der deutschen Schnellfahrlokomotive Baureihe 05.

"THE CHINOOK" IN VICTORIA HARBOUR
This streamlined luxury ship of the Black Ball Line carries 1000 day passengers and 100 cars. In the Indian tongue, the pleasant spring breeze that melts the snows is called "CHINOOK." Today "CHINOOK" sailing into Victoria Harbour means the pleasant cruise over the calm, beautiful blue waters of the Puget Sound."

Post Card. Pub. by Vancouver Magazine Serv. Ltd., Vancouver, B.C. Printed in U.S.A.
MV Chinook at the Black Ball Line terminal at Ship Point on the Inner Harbour in Victoria, BC on Vancouver Island. View looking NW from the Causeway at Government Street.
The M.V. Chinook (from the coast aboriginal's “chinook” or westerly wind) was built for the Black Ball Company in 1947 at Todd's Shipyards (Plant A) in Seattle, WA.
Launched on April 22, 1947 as the Chinook, her maiden voyage on her Seattle-Port Angeles-Victoria route was on July 25, 1947. She was removed from the Seattle portion of the run in 1952.
She was transferred to Canadian registry in October 1954 at which time she was renamed the Chinook II. During her May 1955 refit, it was announced that she was to be moved to Black Ball's Nanaimo-Horseshoe Bay run, BC's busiest ferry route. Much to Victoria's dismay, her run began on June 4th. It was during that refit that her bow was altered to permit bow loading.
Following the purchase of Black Ball Ltd.'s Nanaimo and Sunshine Coast routes vessels and docks by B.C. Ferries in late 1961, the Chinook II was refitted as the Sechelt Queen in 1963.
Retired from B.C. Ferries in 1976; Sold to the Ministry of Transportation and Highways who retired her in 1982. Ultimately sold for disposal in 1997; Likely scrapped.
Capacity: 83 cars, 600 passengers.
The Handley Page Victor is a British jet-powered strategic bomber, developed and produced by the Handley Page Aircraft Company, which served during the Cold War. It was the third and final V-bomber to be operated by the RAF, the other two being the Avro Vulcan and the Vickers Valiant. The Victor had been developed as part of the UK's airborne nuclear deterrent. The Victor was a futuristic-looking, streamlined aircraft, with four turbojet (later turbofan) engines buried in the thick wing roots. Distinguishing features of the Victor were its highly-swept T-tail with considerable dihedral on the tail planes, and a prominent chin bulge that contained the targeting radar, nose landing gear unit and an auxiliary bomb aimer's position.
In 1968, it was retired from the nuclear mission following the discovery of fatigue cracks, which had been exacerbated by the RAF's adoption of a low-altitude flight profile to avoid interception. A number of Victors were modified for strategic reconnaissance, using a combination of radar, cameras, and other sensors. As the nuclear deterrence mission was given to the Royal Navy's submarine-launched Polaris missiles in 1969, a large V-bomber fleet could not be justified. Consequently, many of the surviving Victors were converted into aerial refuelling tankers.
Prior to the demise of the Valiant tankers, a trial installation of refuelling equipment was carried out, including: overload bomb-bay tanks, underwing tanks, refuelling probe and jettisonable de Havilland Spectre Assisted Take-Off units. The aircraft involved in the trials, B.1 XA930, carried out successful trials at Boscombe Down at very high all-up weights with relatively short field length take-offs. The withdrawal of the Valiant fleet because of metal fatigue in December 1964 meant that the RAF had no front-line tanker aircraft, so the B.1/1A aircraft, now judged to be surplus in the strategic bomber role, were refitted for this duty. To get some tankers into service as quickly as possible, six were converted to B(K).1A standard (later redesignated B.1A (K2P)), receiving a two-point system with a hose and drogue carried under each wing, while the bomb bay remained available for weapons. Handley Page worked day and night to convert these six aircraft, with the first being delivered on 28 April 1965, and 55 Squadron becoming operational in the tanker role in August 1965.
While these six aircraft provided a limited tanker capability suitable for refuelling fighters, the Mk 20A wing hosereels could only deliver fuel at a limited rate, and were not suitable for refuelling bombers. Work therefore continued to produce a definitive three-point tanker conversion of the Victor Mk.1. Fourteen further B.1A and 11 B.1 were fitted with two permanently fitted fuel tanks in the bomb bay, and a high-capacity Mk 17 centreline hose dispenser unit with three times the fuel flow rate as the wing reels, and were designated K.1A and K.1 respectively.
The remaining B.2 aircraft were not as suited to the low-level mission profile that the RAF had adopted for carrying out strategic bombing missions as the Vulcan with its strong delta wing. This, combined with the switch of the nuclear deterrent from the RAF to the RN meant that the Victors were considered to be surplus to requirements. Hence, 24 B.2 were modified to K.2 standard. Similar to the K.1/1A conversions, the wing was trimmed to reduce stress and the bomb aimer's nose glazing was plated over. During 1982, the glazing was reintroduced on some aircraft, the former nose bomb aimer's position having been used to mount F95 cameras in order to perform reconnaissance missions during the Falklands War. The K.2 could carry 41,000 kg of fuel. It served in the tanker role until withdrawn in October 1993.
The Victor was the last of the V-bombers to be retired, the final aircraft being removed from service on 15 October 1993. In its refuelling role, it was replaced by the Vickers VC10 and the Lockheed Tristar.
The emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) is the tallest and heaviest of all living penguin species and is endemic to Antarctica. The male and female are similar in plumage and size, reaching 122 cm in height and weighing from 22 to 45 kg. Feathers of the head and back are black and sharply delineated from the white belly, pale-yellow breast and bright-yellow ear patches. Like all penguins it is flightless, with a streamlined body, and wings stiffened and flattened into flippers for a marine habitat. Its diet consists primarily of fish, but also includes crustaceans, such as krill, and cephalopods, such as squid. While hunting, the species can remain submerged around 20 minutes, diving to a depth of 535 m. It has several adaptations to facilitate this, including an unusually structured haemoglobin to allow it to function at low oxygen levels, solid bones to reduce barotrauma, and the ability to reduce its metabolism and shut down non-essential organ functions. The only penguin species that breeds during the Antarctic winter, emperor penguins trek 50–120 km over the ice to breeding colonies which can contain up to several thousand individuals. 1922

The collections of the Deutsches Technikmuseum in Berlin includes a variety of preserved U-Bahn, S-Bahn, tramway and motor coach vehicles. Streamlined bus, 1938, by G. Fritsche of Flöha, Saxonia, based on a frame, gearbox and engine of an Opel Blitz. Photos taken during the 2012 and 2014 open day at the reserve depot near the main museum.
CP 2850 (the original Royal Hudson) and the Dominion of Canada are side by side in the center of Exporail's main building. They represent Canadian and British versions of streamlined passenger steam engines and look great side by side. The Dominion of Canada has replaced CN 6765.
I've decided to replace my 4-6-2+2-6-4 Garratt with a 4-6-4 Hudson featuring Dreyfuss-type styling similar to the type used on the 20th Century Limited. Now, this engine is not owned by the New York Central, but by Gotham Central Railroad. (Yep: The same Gotham of Batman fame!) I figured that because I built the ACE Chemicals sign a while back, I might as well continue down the art-deco path with a loco inspired by Tim Burton's take on Batman's home city. As such, I named the train this engine pulls (already constructed IRL in 2019) the 'Gotham Flyer'.
As some of you might have guessed, this loco was inspired by pictures of Anthony Sava' streamlined Hudosn loco and Tequila Sunrise train from 2007. See it here: www.flickr.com/photos/savatheaggie/1338258406/in/album-72...

The caboose model is also inspired build-wise by the Katy Caboose (as in, "The Caboose who got Loose" from the children's book) model I copied in late 2021 from TrainedBricks' MOC. The one shown is my own version of that caboose.
There are a number of similarities between the two caboose models. However, they are more different than alike for several reasons. For example, Katy has A LOT more SNOT-work compared to her newer cousin. Why, you ask? Katy's walls are all sideways to better represent planks of wood (typical in caboose construction up until early-1910's), whereas her opposite number has only SNOT in the base of the body / stairs and regular bricks everywhere else to represent more modern steel construction.
I was going to put MKT (standing for Missouri - Kansas - Texas Railroad, the same owner of Katy caboose, and from where she gets her name) on the sides of the new caboose where the printed brick is but in printed 1 x 1 tile letters, but the needed green 1 x 4 Technic bricks were problematic, as was the two letter T's that I don't have. Also, the doors to the inside open, but there are no interior details.
Norfolk Southern operated Norfolk & Western streamlined J-class 4-8-4 steam locomotive # 611 leads its Railfan Excursion Train into a tunnel while in route in Tennessee, October 1989. This ex Southern Railway route from Chattanooga to Oneida, Tennessee has numerous tunnels, bridges, sharp curves and step grades. A portion of this route is part of the former Southern Railway Rathole Division.
The avant-garde, streamlined design of the Tatra 87 looks rather like an insect, not least because of the large rear fin. The three headlights are also typical of the Tatra design. The low drag coefficient (Cd) of 0.36 enabled the car with its air-cooled three-litre, V8 engine to attain a speed of 150 km/h. However, at that speed driving the car became dangerous - the heavy rear engine made the tail hard to handle.
The Austrian engineer Hans Ledwinka joined the Czech company Tatra in 1921 as technical director. He invented the 'backbone chassis' and developed aerodynamic designs for motorcars. The design of this particular Tatra dates back to the pre-war years. Ledwinka was a close colleague of Ferdinand Porsche, but when the Volkswagen Beetle was introduced, Tatra claimed that Porsche had copied their design. The court case was interrupted by the war, but Volkswagen later admitted Tatra's influence.
The eastbound Black Diamond crosses Plains Rd. at Rochester Jct., N.Y., led by 4-6-2 class K-6b Pacific 2089, circa 1940. Three K-6 Pacifics 2089, 2093, and 2097 were assigned to the Black Diamond, with streamlined shrouds designed by Otto Kuhler applied in 1940. No. 2089 was the last steam locomotive constructed by the Lehigh Valley at their shops in Sayre, Pa., in June 1925. Withdrawn from passenger service in 1948, 2089 was scrapped in January 1951.

Henry M. Flagler's Florida East Coast Railroad Line reached Palm Beach in 1894. The Seaboard Airline Railroad Line laid tracks to Palm Beach as late as 1921-1924. It was after 1921 that the Seaboard Airline tracks reached West Palm Beach. Reference to the Seaboard Airline Railroad Station appears in a book printed in 1926.
S. Davis Warfield was president of Seaboard Air Line and in 1924 Warfield built a cross-state line that serviced West Palm Beach and Miami and Homestead in 1926, making a direct rail connection from one coast to the other, across the state. In 1938 the Atlantic Coast Line and the Seaboard Airline Railroad Line formed a network over Florida. Trains were air-conditioned and streamlined, and power was generated by Diesel-electric locomotives.
Stockholders in the railroad were important Palm Beach residents, and this station combined their taste in architecture, and their desire for service and convenience, for the community related to their vacation and retirement residences.
L. Phillips Clarke, who designed all of the Seaboard Railroad stations, built his first station at Auburndale. The West Palm Beach station appeared in 1924-1925.
The north-south dimension, paralleling the tracks, is approximately 178 feet. It is 43 feet deep, not including (at the sides) a 13-foot platform on the west. The building is mainly one story high, with a single office on a two-story level near the center and a three-stage tower on the south corner of the east or entrance facade on Tamarind Avenue.
The plan is rectangular, divided essentially in half, with express room and baggage room to the left or south, and behind the loggia the two waiting rooms, now one, separated on the east by restrooms and on the west by the ticket office. The loggia surrounds most of the front and ends, and the shed—roofed passenger platform on the rear or trackside.
The City of West Palm Beach, following a purchase of the building in 1988, tapped local architecture firm Oliver Glidden & Partners to head a $4.3 million restoration of the structure. The project was completed and the station rededicated in a ceremony attended by the Florida Governor in April 1991. Architect Robert D. Brown directed the restoration of ornamental cast stone elements, exterior masonry, doors, windows, and iron and tile work. The red clay tile roof was replaced, as were the electrical, lighting, plumbing and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. Abatement of lead and asbestos was further required to bring the historic structure up to modern building code standards. The restoration effort earned the Florida Trust Award for Historic Preservation in 1994.
In summer 2012, the city finished an improvement project that included the installation of new sidewalks and more than five dozen trees around the building. The improvements were funded with a $750,000 Transportation Enhancement grant from the Federal Highway Administration, to which the city provided a $150,000 local match.
The station has two side platforms, with access to the station on both sides. West of the southbound platform is a long loop of bus bays serving Palm Tran routes. East of the northbound platform is the station house, a small parking lot, and bus stops for Greyhound Lines buses and Tri-Rail shuttles.

Streamlined 'A4' Pacific 60007 'Sir Nigel Gresley' heads a return excursion from Edinburgh to Chester crosses the Float Viaduct across the youg River Clyde at Strawfrank, just south of Carstairs. Just after 5pm, 15th September 2025.
An unidentified streamlined ex-LNER A4 pacific locomotive approaches Gainsborough Lea Road Station from the Lincoln direction in approximately 1962. As it does, it passes A1 locomotive number 60158 Aberdonian (thanks for Adrian for the correct ID - see below), waiting to depart to Lincoln. This particular locomotive entered service in November 1949, and was withdrawn in December 1964, before being cut up at North Blyth in February '65.
The photographer is stood at the Lincoln end of platform 2, looking Southwards - the top of the signal box can just be seen above the A1's boiler.

East LaSalle fades into the distance as the Southern Belle begins its journey to Shreveport - and eventually New Orleans - in 1967. The EMD E7 locomotive is one of several former Main Central units bought by the Kansas City Southern in the early 1960s to avoid hauling regularly scheduled trains behind non-streamlined power.
Although the shiny black, yellow, and red paint of this train presents a rosy picture, the sad truth lies just below the surface: the KCS lost its mail contract earlier this year and the railroad has already applied to the ICC to discontinue all passenger service. The Southern Belle will make its last run in late 1969.
The models belong to NAPM member John Decker. The locomotive is a Walthers Proto with factory-equipped DCC and sound and is lettered for KSC subsidiary Louisiana & Arkansas. The express, baggage and coaches are also Walthers Proto models. John used chalks and oil paints to weather all of the equipment.

Norfolk Southern operated N&W streamlined J-class steam locomotive # 611 close-in view of the lightweight roller bearing side rods and valve gear seen in Chattanooga, Tennessee, October 1989. Had never seen a photo such as this to detail the thin lightweight alloy side rods and valve gear components. The locomotive was assigned to operate a railfan excursion train, and this photo was taken a day prior to the trip while the locomotive was being prepared, maintained and serviced.
This streamlined saloon, with a monocoque aluminum coachwork, was the last big Panhard. Its sleeve valve engine was outdated, but apart from that this baroque and expensive car was extremely modern : all-round independent wheels and one of the first with a dual hydraulic brake circuit. Three seats in the front with a central steering wheel were difficult to accept, and as from 1939 the steering wheel was moved to the left-hand side. 2.230 models were built.

For many the newly streamlined LMSR locomotive Duchess of Hamilton,
the star in a new exhibition at the National Railway Museum (NRM),
represents the glory days of steam. As the storm clouds of war began
to gather across Europe, steam was enjoying a golden age in 1930s
Britain.
London North Eastern Railway (LNER) ran the east coast main line
between Kings Cross and Edinburgh, with its famous flagship express
train The Flying Scotsman. Its archrival was the London Midland and
Scottish Railway (LMSR) which operated the west coast main line from
Euston to Glasgow with its top performing service, the Royal Scot.

The collections of the Deutsches Technikmuseum in Berlin includes a variety of preserved U-Bahn, S-Bahn, tramway and motor coach vehicles. Streamlined bus, 1938, by G. Fritsche of Flöha, Saxonia, based on a frame, gearbox and engine of an Opel Blitz. Photos taken during the 2012 and 2014 open day at the reserve depot near the main museum.
In 1939, as part of the New York World's Fair, the London Midland & Scottish Railway undertook the mammoth task of releasing one of their streamlined locomotives and matching train sets and shipping them across the Atlantic for display as part of the Transportation exhibits in New York. This was not the first time the LMSR had shown such panache as in 1933 they had sent the Royal Scot train to the United States on a tour.
The locomotive seen 'here' and that was displayed at the Fair following a journey around the US was badged up as 6220 'Coronation' and carried the streamlined crimson livery; it was in fact locomotive 6229 Duchess of Hamilton disguised and the original 6220, one of the first five of the larger class, originally carried the streamlined 'Caledonian Blue' livery. The whole Fair was overshadowed by the outbreak of war in 1939 and the train was effectively stranded in the US. The locomotive returned to the UK in 1942 and regained its original identity the following year. The carriages had to wait until 1946 until being repatriated.
The leaflet opens to describe the importance of the LMS and its services along with descriptions of the territory it served. There was a similar leaflet, printed in red, that was issued during the Exhibition in New York City.
