East Coast Giants

Vintage-Style British Railways Poster

 

For the majority of the 20th Century, these three locomotive ‘giants’ were the mainstay of Britain’s East Coast Main Line between London – York – Newcastle – Edinburgh.

The class A4 ‘Pacifics’ epitomised ‘the golden age of steam’ from the 1930s, with ‘Mallard’ also being the fastest steam train of them all. From the 1960s, the ‘modern’ era was dominated by the class 55 ‘Deltics’, which at the time were the world’s most powerful diesel locomotives. And from the late 1970s, the class 43 ‘Inter-City 125’ ruled the route, and also became the world’s fastest diesel train.
