Hi,
     It's a Coronation class pacific of the L.M.S. Often known as 'Duchesses' as scouseboy's post suggests. The streamlined casing was later removed.

The name of the train was the Coronation Scot.  The locomotive was of the "Princess Coronation" class http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LMS_Princess_Coronation_Class
