Deutsch: Das Einzelstück der Standardklasse 8P der British Railways (BR) ist eine Dampflokomotive mit der Achsfolge 2'C1' (Pacific) und einem Dreizylinder-Triebwerk. Ungewöhnlich an der 1954 gebauten Lokomotive ist ihre Entwicklungsgeschichte: Beim Bau wurde in einigen Punkten von den Plänen abgewichen, so dass die Leistung unbefriedigend war und kein Weiterbau der Klasse erfolgte. Während der Restaurierung wurden die Mängel erkannt und behoben, und die Maschine gilt heute als leistungsfähigste je in Großbritannien gelaufene Dampflokomotive. (→BR-Standardklasse 8P)

English: The BR Standard Class 8 was a class of 4-6-2 Pacific steam locomotive designed by Robert Riddles for use by British Railways. Only the prototype was constructed, which was named Duke of Gloucester. Constructed at Crewe Works in 1954, the Duke, as it is popularly known, was a replacement for the destroyed Princess Royal Class locomotive number 46202 Princess Anne, which was involved in the Harrow and Wealdstone rail disaster of 1952.
