Built from 1937-48, the four-cylinder Duchess Class Pacifics were designer William Stanier’s crowning achievement. The most powerful steam locomotives in Great Britain, the Duchesses were renowned for their feats hoisting long rakes of carriages over Shap Summit, the steepest climb on the London, Midland and Scottish Railway.
