The LMS Turbomotive was a modified LMS Princess Royal Class steam turbine locomotive designed by William Stanier and built by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1935. It was inspired by the Swedish Ljungström locomotives first introduced in 1922. [1] It used turbines instead of cylinders.

Left: The LMS turbine locomotive, No 6202, built in 1936. This locomotive looks fairly conventional but was in fact driven by a steam turbine ahead of the coupled driving wheels. It was non-condensing, and had a reversing turbine, engaged for use with a dog-clutch.
