LNER 4-6-2 Pacific Locomotives

The LNER's Express Pacific designs were probably the most famous of the LNER locomotives. Even today, two of these engines (No. 4472 Flying Scotsman and No. 4468 Mallard) rank amongst the most famous steam locomotives ever built. The emergence of the Pacific designs in Britain coincided with the Grouping in the early 1920s. The LNER quickly converted to using Pacifics for "top link" express passenger services, and would continue to introduce new Pacific express passenger designs right up to Nationalisation in 1948.

As well as these famous express locomotives, the LNER also had a number of Pacific tank locomotives.
