The 21.34m-long, 100-tonne machine was designed by Sir Nigel Gresley, one of Britains most famous steam locomotive engineers. It ran long-distance express trips from 1923 to 1963, setting speed records along the way. After 3, 341, 000km in service at the London and North Eastern Railway, the locomotive was bought by rich guy Alan Pegler, who paid a complete overhaul in 1968
