Description "Built in 1981, this is a replica of an original Great Western Railway (GWR) locomotive designed by Sir Daniel Gooch in 1847. Daniel Gooch designed Iron Duke to pull express trains from the GWR’s London terminus at Paddington to Bristol, Exeter and the West Country, and that is what it did for 45 years."

Haven't a clue I'm afraid. I don't know that much about steam locos but I find them fascinating and impressive to see!
