Hughes Compound 4-6-2 Pacific

The Hughes Compound 4-6-2 Pacific was a proposed design for a class of 4-6-2 steam locomotives on the UK's Railways. Initial designs were made by George Hughes, but no examples of this proposed design was built.
== Ideas for the design ==
The Hughes Compound 4-6-2 Pacific would have featured similar features from other locomotives in the UK, such as having 4-cylinders with a compounding system, same tender design from the LMS Stanier Locomotives and, the same body design from the LMS Princess Royal Class 4-6-2 Pacifics but designed with a different firebox.
== Why wasn't it built? ==
The two reasons to why the Hughes Compound 4-6-2 Pacific wasn't built was because at the time when WWII came to an end, steam technology was considered as old-school, Diesels were rapidly taking over steam locomotives in the UK in the 1950s and 1960s, the idea/notion of investing another steam locomotive wasn't really a good idea.
