The Flying Dutchess |
| Description: |
The Flying Dutchess steam locomotive sits on display in La Grange, KY. The steam locomotive 7745 (MEA No. 2) named “Flying Duchess” was built in England by the Robert Stephenson & Hawthorne Co. in 1952. Upon close inspection it may seem clear that the Flying Duchess was built upon the same design as the famous children’s TV character, Thomas the Tank Engine. The Duchess is an outside-cylinder side tank locomotive that weighs about 50 tons. The design became a standard for the British Electricity Authority for use at its large power stations throughout the United Kingdom. The BEA had a requirement for locomotives capable of taking over a 1,000 ton train from a British Railways locomotive for the final stage of its journey to the coal tipplers. |
