Whilst running last Saturday, EtU and I, having nothing better to talk about, discussed LMS and LNER steam locomotives. They were designed to haul trains between London and Scotland and vice versa. Whilst the LNER engines were, perhaps, a bit quicker, in my view the LMS engines had it on sheer good looks.

The quickest LNER locomotive, “Mallard”, still holds the world record for a steam engine at 125.80 miles per hour.
The quickest record for an LMS locomotive is 114 mph.
Just thought you all might be interested!
