"Unveiling the Legends: The Mighty 4-6-2 Steam Locomotives" Step back in time and witness the awe-inspiring power of the iconic 4-6-2 steam locomotives. Among them, No 111, known as The Great Bear, stands tall with its distinctive 2-4-0 locomotive. Its majestic presence commands attention as it traverses through history. Imagine standing in the cab of a Castle Class locomotive, feeling the vibrations beneath your feet as you embark on an unforgettable journey. And there it is again, No 111 - passing Twyford in all its glory during the early 1920s. But let's not forget another legendary figure - the renowned 4472 Flying Scotsman from the London and North Eastern Railway. This magnificent A3 Class Pacific steam locomotive captivates hearts as it departs from King's Cross Station towards northern destinations. Witnessing maintenance work at Doncaster Works reveals a different side to this famous engine. Black and white photographs capture its raw beauty amidst repairs, reminding us of their constant need for care and attention. Across continents, even across oceans, these powerful machines left their mark. In vibrant lithographs, we see a New York Haven and Hartford Railroad's stunningly colored 4-6-2 steam locomotive proudly displaying its mightiness. Back in England once more, Flying Scotsman embarks on yet another adventure from London Kings Cross station to northern realms. Its colorful lithograph showcases both elegance and strength that have made it an enduring symbol of British railway history. Not limited to Britain alone; other railways also boasted impressive engines like turbine-driven Pacific steam locomotives belonging to London Midland Scottish Railway or even those hauling Frontier Mail over viaducts between Bombay and Delhi under Bombay Baroda Central India Railway's banner. These captivating glimpses into railway history remind us of an era when steam locomotives ruled the tracks.
