    The London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Princess Royal Class is a class of express passenger steam locomotive designed by William Stanier. Thirteen examples were built at Crewe Works, between 1933 and 1935, and two are preserved.
    When originally built, they were used to haul the famous Royal Scot train between London Euston and Glasgow Central.
    A prototype batch of three locomotives was to be constructed in 1933. Two were constructed as drawn but the third set of frames was retained as the basis for an experimental turbine locomotive.


    A second batch of eleven locomotives was constructed later.
    Each locomotive was named after a princess, the official name for the class was chosen because Mary, Princess Royal was the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Scots. However, the locos were known to railwaymen as "Lizzies", after the second example of the class named for Princess Elizabeth who later became Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. Later examples of 4-6-2 express passenger locomotive built by the LMS were of the related but larger, Coronation Class.
    The class was withdrawn in the early 1960s in line with British Railways' modernisation plan.
