Pretty Polly was an LNER engine mentioned by an old brakevan in the Annual story "Galloping Sausage". It was named after a racehorse, and the van comments that it was a "silly name" for an engine. Built in 1925 as an A1 class locomotive, it was converted to an A3 in 1944.It would have been a classmate of Gordon and Flying Scotsman. Originally numbered 2560, it was later renumbered 61, becoming 60061 under British Railways. It was scrapped in 1963.
