Manufacturer description

Stanier’s Turbomotive, often referred to as ‘The Turbo’ was an experimental non-condensing steam turbine locomotive inspired by similar Swedish Ljungström locomotives. No. 6202 was built as the third of the 'Princess Royal' Class by Stanier, an attempt to innovate steam locomotive technology with the advent of Dieselisation and Grouping upending the traditional notions of rail transport.
