	Sir William Stanier FRS
		William Stanier was born in 1876, and became an apprentice in the Great Western Railway (GWR) at Swindon in 1892.
		Stanier's first LMS design was the Princess heavy passenger pacific, which incorporated many aspects of Churchward's GWR designs.
		The 8F was chosen by the War Department as a standard locomotive, and as such served with the LNER as the O6 Class during and after World War 2.

	Sir William Arthur Stanier, FRS
		By the time it was written Stanier was retired, and whilst his earlier professional papers were probably written with a great deal of assistance from his subordinates (this is common practice in all industries), it is likely that his contribution on Churchward was written solely by his own effort.
		Stanier, therefore, switched him to be Technical Assistant at Euston and appointed Tom Coleman to be Chief Draughtsman in charge of both Derby and Crewe Loco Drawing Offices, resident at Derby.
		Stanier got along excellently with him, considered him eminently sound and practical rather than theoretical, ready to incorporate all the new ideas, and not too ready to query points differing from previous practice.

		The London Midland and Scottish Railway's Stanier class 5 4-6-0, almost universally known as a fl five is a class of steam locomotive.
		They were introduced by William Stanier in 1934, 842 being built between then and 1951.
		Stanier had initially built several of his LMS Stanier 2-6-0 class, but the fl fives were bigger engines.

		842 were built between 1935 and 1946 as a freight version of William Stanier's successful fl five, and the class saw service overseas during the Second World War.
		William Stanier was brought in from the Great Western Railway to solve this motive power crisis.
		Stanier would have been familiar with G.J. Churchward's freight 2800 Class of 2-8-0s.

	World Record Broken
		One of the steam era's classic nameplates "SIR WILLIAM A STANIER F.R.S" became the highest selling nameplate of all time when it sold for £54,000 at the Sheffield Railwayana Auction on 14th September, easily eclipsing the £40,200 previous record paid for "City of Carlisle" at the same Auction-house in December 2000.
		Commemorating the LMS's Chief Mechanical Engineer (1932-44), it was carried by a 'Princess Coronation' class Pacific No. 6256 built at Crewe in December 1947 spending its life hauling the crack expresses on the West Coast main line between Euston and Glasgow.
		Although the highlight of the sale, "Sir William Stanier" was not the only nameplate offered.

		When William Stanier was appointed Chief Mechanical Engineer of the LMS in 1932, there was considerable speculation as to what would be produced by a Swindon trained engineer for the London Midland and Scottish Railway.
		These became the 40 Stanier 2-6-0s familiarly known as Stanier "Crabs" - and a greater contrast from Stanier's predecessor, George Hughes' engines of the same wheel formation can scarcely be imagined.
		The Stanier Crabs embodied a number of Swindon features - most of which were abandoned later when it was realised that conditions on the LMS were very different from those on the GWR.

		Steeped in GWR and, specifically, Churchward tradition, Stanier was able to refer to his experience with successful GW ‘Halls’ when called upon to design a 4-6-0 for his new masters.
		This meant that a straightforward transposition of Churchward’s principles was not possible, but Stanier was quick to identify the needs and design the way forward for the largest railway in the country.
		By taking the basic ‘Hall’ idea and merging this with an enlargement of existing LMS 2-6-0s, he created a mixed-traffic 2-cylinder locomotive that proved to be one of the most versatile ever to be appear on Britain’s railways, capable of handling passenger and freight traffic with equal ease.

	GCR Locomotive 48305
		When Sir William Stanier took over as Chief Mechanical Engineer of the LMS, his most urgent priority was for main line express and mixed traffic power.
		Once the teething troubles of the jubilees and the Black 5s had been overcome, the 8Fs started to make their appearance in 1937 Most of them were concentrated on the Midland lines, where something considerably more powerful than the 4Fs was urgently required.
		Like all Stanier locomotives, they soon became popular, and the type was multiplied steadily up to the outbreak of the war in 1939 when 120 of them were running.

		From the end of 1934 Stanier turned to a larger 4-6-0 for his mixed traffic class, this the LMS Black Five Class.

		The staff at Crewe, the LMS loco engineering headquarters, "rebuilt" him as that railway’s most prolific loco, the 4-6-0 5MT "Black Five." The eagle-eyed will spot that Henry's top-feed (the nub in front of the dome) is somwhat forward along the boiler than most 5MTs, corresponding to 1940s modifications by HG Ivatt.
		They show the hallmarks of Stanier’s distinctive standard LMS style, a practice he brought with him from his previous employers, the GWR of Churchward and Collett, with the purpose of using interchangeable parts on very different locos.
		Stanier’s ideas led the way for British Railways standard designs of the 1950s.

		When Stanier joined the LMS from the GWR in 1932 he brought with him many principles towards locomotive design that he had learnt there, one of which was the taper boiler capable of improving steaming and economy of operation.
		Stanier’s first job was to design and build a class of locomotive that would truly be Mixed traffic allowing the engine to cover most of the companies routes an duties.
		Unlike its similarly designed predeccor the Jubillee’s the Balck 5’s were an immediate success the boilers containing “low degree” superheaters using just 14 elements and also no dome the regulator being in the smokebox rather than the conventional inside the boiler dome and said to be heavily based on the GWR ‘Hall’ class.

	3 1/2 inch gauge Stanier 2-6-4 tank - stock code 2167 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		LMS 2-6-4 tank locomotive, designed by William Stanier - 206 engines were built by the LMS between 1935 and 1943, the last of them wasn't withdrawn until 1967, although none survived into preservation.
		Martin Evans' "Jubilee" design is a well-regarded, authentic rendition of Stanier's design for 3 1/2 inch gauge.
		It is a large engine for the gauge, free-steaming and quick on the track - in many ways an ideal club engine for those who don't want the weight or expense of a 5 inch gauge engine.

		Stanier came from the GWR and brought a new injection of life into LMS loco design.
		Stanier was initially followed Fairburn who was suceeded by Ivatt who in his short tenure produced three excellent locos a Class 2 and class 3 2-6-0, and a 2P 2-6-2T, all three influencing the BR standard designs of Riddles.

		Prior to Stanier's arrival the railway operated a wide variety of locomtives and carriages which added to the cost of servicing them.
		He brought an end to this by introducing a standardization programme that by 1938 reduced the number of locomotive types from 404 to 132.
		Stanier built numerous and highly successful Class 5 4-6-0 mixed traffic locomotives, (known as Black 5s), which later formed the basis for a standard British Railways design.
