With striking gold leaf stripes, this sleek and fashionable marvel proved that art and engineering could be combined to create high-speed steam locomotives.

This powerful, aerodynamic masterpiece rocketed to 126mph in 1938, a steam speed record that was never surpassed.

Named after its legendary designer, this 'flying banana' is a beautifully preserved example of the High Speed Train which blazed a trail in 1976.

Take a look at our first-generation 1960s bullet train, which led a revolution in high-speed train travel.
