- Synopsis:
During the height of 'the Railway Age', two huge joint-stock companies fought over the trade between the Capital cities of England and Scotland. The East Coast main line of the LNER, or London and North Eastern Railway, made direct connections from London's Kings Cross to Edinburgh's Waverley with famous trains including the 'Flying Scotsman', headed by massive Pacific locomotives such as Sir Nigel Gresley's immortal 'Mallard', the fastest steam locomotive ever. Running up the West Coast was the Scottish main line of the LMS, or London Midland and Scottish Railway, its main target the traffic to Glasgow, but also serving Edinburgh Princes Street station. The most powerful pacific's of their time, the stanier 'Duchesses', handled this Anglo-Scottish traffic and this video brings the rivalry back to life with film of these great locomotives ranging from the 1950's to the present day. - Studio:
