You forgot the Black 5 part of the story. Of course, the Jubilee engines (four of which are preserved) were a slightly larger development of their Black 5 cousins as you mentioned. However, working under George Jackson Churchward of GWR status, William Stanier took design drawings of the Great Western 4-6-0 Hall to the LMS. Drawing up on the Hall engine's design, William Stanier created the Black 5 4-6-0s. So essentially, thanks to Churchward for letting him borrow the blueprints for the GWR Halls, Stanier created the Black 5 cousin of the GWR tender engine. As an example of this in real life, go to the Great Central Railway, and you will find Witherslack Hall working alongside her LMS Black 5 cousin.
The Turbomotive was reasonably successful for a turbine powered locomotive. It reduced hammer blow damage to the track to zero, and burnt slightly less coal than the standard Princess Royals fir the same performance. It wasn't rebuilt until the turbine failed in 1949, and operated through the war years.
Hi Just a small correction of what you said about the tractive effort of the Princess Royal class loco. Princess Royal tractive effort was 40,285 lb, where as the Princess Coronation had a tractive effort of 40,000 lb, just under!! They both had 4 cylinders 16 1/4 x 28. Both were beautiful designs!!! Regards Nige
Interesting. Mine pulls pretty well. I assume you've run it in and given it a service and light lube? Also check the wheel back to back etc. as new locos are often way off the ideal,
Your references to some models seems not adequate . Where can I find the LMS 5533 Hornby Railroad range ? Not on your web nor on Hornby's. Or is this just another publicity expose ?

Cheers Dave enjoyed that video. WOULD love to see Hornby make some LMS Crinson Coronation coaches.
I miss these streams
Caledonian and Highland railway from pre-grouping are part of LMS
Great thx. That's my area for collecting besides WWI and WWII

Any hints for getting the newest Princess Coronation to haul a prototypical load? My City of Edinburgh is very under-powered.

Whatever happened to these live streams? Is Dave still with the company?
Any news when you can start the stream again ?

here is a vote for rebuilt royal scots and patriots, if you think they had a belle whistle, say I
if you think they had hooter whistles, say me
