Those Great Locomotives - GER S69

Locomotives which have captured the imagination of many, not with their size or strength- but sheer charm. The Great Eastern Railway's S69 was, for all it was worth, a well-travelled design that could go anywhere and attempt anything, despite being drawn up as the most powerful express locomotives for the Great Eastern by Frederick Russell. From Norwich to Aberdeen, how did they fare?
