GNR Class A1 1470 Great Northern

The Great Northern Railway Class A1 1470 Great Northern was the first of 52 A1 class locomotives. It also represented three distinct stages in the history of the British 4-6-2 "Pacific" steam locomotives designed by Nigel Gresley for the Great Northern Railway (GNR), a constituent company of the London and North Eastern Railway before the amalgamation of 1923, for which they became a standard design. Eventually Great Northern was completely rebuilt as Class A1/1.
