'Mallard' is the fastest steam locomotive in the UK, in fact the fastest in the world at 126 mph. I do not know if it is the most powerful in terms of sheer horsepower. I do not have the time for a detailed response (and may be wrong in detail), but given the prior answer, feel compelled to write. Probably the most powerful were the Beyer Garratts (2-8-8-2) used on heavy coal trains in the Midlands. Next would be the BR standard 2-10-0 9F, though these were not fast, due to wheel size. The LMS Duchess was probably the most powerful passenger locomotive, though it is not easy to say as they could not fuel it fast enough to keep up with the fire. Comparable, at around 40,000lb tractive effort, and more compact were the GWR Kings, with the SR Merchant Navy's close behind. The Gresley A3 and A4 had less pull, but (obviously) plenty of speed. The A4 was essentially a streamlined A3.
I'd suggest the top list is
LNER class U1 2-8-8-2 72,940lbf banker for the Wath incline
LMS 2-6-6-2 45,620 Lickley Banker
LNER class P2 2-8-2 43,642 lbf Express passenger engines built for the Aberdeen sleeper trains
LMS 0-10-0 43,300lbf another Lickley banker
LMS Duchess class 4-6-2 40,285
GWR King class 4-6-0 40,300 [rebuilt down to 39,700 on first overhaul]
BR 9F 2-10-0 39,667lbf
LNER P1 2-8-0 38,500 heavy goods loco

Who built first steam powered locomotive?
Richard Trevithick, Christmas eve 1801, Cornwall, UK
When was the steam locomotive invented?
The first full scale steam locomotive was built by Richard Trevithick in 1804. The first attempts were made in Great Britain; the earliest steam rail locomotive was built in 1804 by Richard Trevithick and Andrew Vivian. The first steam engine was built in 1794 in the USA. The first practical steam railway was built in the UK in 1804 and the first railway journey was taken on that train. Answer:The steam train was invented in 1814 by geaorge steaphenson and was then put on chilling wood railway. Cornwall, England, UK. By Richard Trevithick. In 1801 Richard Trevithick invented the first steam locomotive in 1803, but the iron rails couldn't carry the weight. From there, George Stephenson is credited with the first practical steam locomotive. See related links for more information.

When was the coal powered train invented?
Scottish inventor, William Murdoch built a protype for a steam locomotive road model in 1784. The first working steam powered locomotive was Between 1780 and 1790, an American inventor, John Fitch developed the first steam locomotive rail model. The first fully operational model was built by Richard Trevikhick in the UK in 1804. Steam locomotives were first seen in England in the nineteenth century, and were the main mode of train travel until mid-twentieth century.
What was the first railway in the world?
The Stockton and Darlington Railway (S&DR) in the UK, which opened in 1825, was the world's first permanent steam locomotive hauled public railway.
Who invented the steam locomotive (1830)?
Credit for the first fully functional steam locomotive goes to Richard Trevithick in the UK - although some prototypes had been built by prior inventors such as William Murdoch and John Fitch but there were not really workable due to limitations on the pressure that could be contained in their boilers. Richard Trevithick made the necessary breakthrough in designing and building an effective high-pressure boiler that could be used to power a locomotive. The first full-scale working railway steam locomotive, called the 'Puffing Devil,' was built by Richard Trevithick. In the USA the B&O Railroad's Tom Thumb, which went into service in 1830, was designed and built by Peter Cooper and was the first US-built locomotive to run in America, although it was intended as a demonstration of the potential of steam traction, rather than as a revenue-earning locomotive.
Who developed a steam enginge that could drive machinery?

What do we call the person who drives a train?
The person who operates a full-scale train (locomotive) is the engineer.Other crew positions are the conductor (who is also the operator on a trolley or streetcar), the brakeman (safety and mechanical crewman), and the fireman (on old-style steam locomotives) who may be simply a stoker.+++In the UK he was and is always simply the Driver, assisted by the Fireman who was never called the 'stoker', on a steam-locomotive. ("He": & she now as there are women drivers now.) "Stoker" was used in the Royal and Merchant Navies for a ship's boiler-room crew-member.
What was the first country to make a train?
The first full scale working railway steam locomotive was built in the United Kingdom in 1804 by a gentleman called Richard Trevithick. He was an English engineer born in Cornwall. This used high pressure steam to drive the engine by one power stroke. (The transmission system employed a large flywheel to even out the action of the piston rod.) On 21 February 1804 the world's first railway journey took place as Trevithick's unnamed steam locomotive hauled a train along the tramway of the Penydarren Ironworks, in Merthyr Tydfil in South Wales (UK). There is a memorial in the image of that locomotive in the town at a area between Penydarren and the top of the Merthyr Town area called Pont Morlais that celebrates this event
