Basis[]
Montgomery is based on the real locomotive of the name City of Truro, built in 1903 for the Great Western Railway (GWR) at Swindon Works to a design by George Jackson Churchward. Debatably, City of Truro broke the 100mph speed barrier for steam railways in 1904, the year after it was introduced. However, Flying Scotsman was the first steam engine to attain the speed of 100 mph that was officially recorded. City of Truro went on static display at the National Railway Museum following a tube failure in February 2013. In November 2015, it was moved to Steam Museum in Swindon, Wiltshire.
