Pete Comley�s scratch built Princess of Wales 4-2-2- loco. The prototype was designed in the 1880's by the CME of the Midland Railway, Mr. Johnson. They pulled the non-stop express passenger trains from London to Birmingham (100 miles), and as the Midland did not have water troughs he designed a large tender to carry enough water. The main driver wheel was 8ft 3in to enable the high speeds envisioned, about 90mph. However this arrangement made for difficult starting with a load as the wheel would slip, and the locos quickly acquired the nickname of 'Johnson Spinners'. Most of the class were just numbered, but one was named Princess of Wales. Taken June 3, 2009 at Palos Verdes Estates, CA. (Image D5-01_642a)
