* Peak of electric locomotive design - what is the peak there?
Peak of design or the first of their kind? Which in the UK would be the Class 81?

My contribution is to agree that an HST power car must be included.
As the £10 note, this giving it the widest coverage.

Please Grahame, this is the GWR Coffee Shop!
It has to be a (proper) Castle class, not a Schools class!

I'd suggest Puffing Billy, the oldest surviving steam locomotive as a possibile contender. It has a certain Heath Robinson/steampunk visual appeal to it.
* An early locomotion - or Puffing Billy or rocket
* The peak of steam locomotive design - how about a 4-4-0 Schools class
* An HST Power car - has to be!

Apparently, the Bank of England is asking for ideas for a theme for new banknotes and one suggestion is locomotives. Which four would you choose for the £5, £10 £20 and £50 notes and why?
How about Locomotion, Rocket (two firsts), Mallard and an HST power car (two record breakers)?
