The London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Princess Royal Class is a class of an express passenger steam locomotive designed by William Stanier. They were Pacifics (4-6-2 wheel arrangement). Twelve examples were built at Crewe Works, between 1933 and 1935 and two are preserved.
The Princess Royal Class is the smaller of the LMS Princess Coronation Class Steam Locomotive, which holds the honour of being the most powerful steam engine ever built to pull trains on Britain’s railways. This impressive engine went on to hold the LMS speed record of 114 mph all the way through World War 2, right up until 1947.
