Not forgetting the exquisite King George V.
and just to show no GWR blinkers, I'll add Princess Elizabeth.
Not because she was necessarily the best looking loco ever, but because a friend of mine was CME of her overhaul/restoration when at Bulmers in Hereford and I was press ganged into spending a lot of time crawling underneath her with various tools. Dirty, wet, cold and uncomfortable, but totally exhilarating.
Then finally to have the chance to slowly run her up the short stretch of track within Bulmer's factory site when finished. What a loco !!
