Patriotism: The Royal Army Ordnance Corps - part 8

摘要

Alan Crossfield describes his much admired, DOE winning Patriot in 5 inch gauge. Following the successful introduction of the Royal Scots in 1927, the LMS locomotive department turned its attention to improving the Claughtons. This latter class of locomotives consisted of one hundred and thirty LNWR designed 4-6-0s. Since their introduction in 1912, the Claughtons had been the flagship express passenger locomotive of the 'Premier Line' and, until the introduction of the Royal Scots, used on the fastest and heaviest trains.
