This particular locomotive is a P36 class. They were designed in the early 50’s to haul large passenger trains. 251 were produced beige construction was halted, as the 20th Congress ordered modernization to Diesel and Electric. An impressive 26 have been preserved
I love the green-black-red colour scheme. It works really well.
This class absolutely goes on my list of favourite Steam Trains, along with the A3 and A4
My first instinct would be to laugh at you for liking British trains but I happen to have a soft spot for Nigel Gresley
