ex LMS and GWR locomotives

Ex LMS and GWR locomotives refer to steam engines originally built for the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) and the Great Western Railway (GWR), respectively. Both were major British railway companies before nationalization. LMS locomotives were known for their power and versatility across the Midlands and North, often emphasizing speed and freight capabilities. GWR engines favored a broad-gauge design, focusing on efficiency and flexibility in the West of England. Post-privatization or preservation, some of these historic locomotives are restored and operated, representing important parts of British railway heritage and engineering evolution.
