Staniers Lizzie's
In their day the most powerful engines on the West
Coast main line.
The Duchesses superceeded them
Jubilee LMS
The Jubilee's had a faltering start, did not steam
till the extra elemints in the superheater was
added then they did stearling work and
thankfully five are preserved
Well done Mr Stanier
9F a very robust and useful engine
An all rounder, the 9F did much freight work but
was also a great workhorse on weekend holidy
trafic especially on the S&D
Well done Robin Riddles
