Lemberg was an LNER Class A3 Pacific.
In The Railway Series, he was Gordon, Flying Scotsman and Pretty Polly's brother and Green Arrow and Mallard's cousin.
In a Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends annual story, Galloping Sausage, The Elderly Brake Van once mentioned Lemberg, along with Pretty Polly, saying they were named after racehorses who won the Derby. He referred to their names as silly for engines.
