Description

Heres another shot of the steam train i went to photograph the other day. Coronation Class 8P 4-6-2 no 46233 "Duchess of Sutherland" Returns her passengers to London's Victoria station after their 4 day trip on the Moors & Dales Express that visited York, Whitby, the Yorkshire Dales and Lincoln.

No.46233 'Duchess of Sutherland' is a London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Princess Coronation Class 4-6-2 "Pacific" type steam locomotive built in 1938 by Crewe Works for the London Midland and Scottish Railway. Built as a high speed express passenger locomotive, 46233 was built to haul fast express passenger services such as ‘The Royal Scot’ and ‘The Mid-Day Scot' between London Euston and Glasgow Central as well as other expresses to Liverpool.

Withdrawn by British Railways in 1964, the locomotive was originally sold to Butlins holiday camp in Scotland. In 1996, the locomotive was acquired by The Princess Royal Class Locomotive Trust with the intention of restoration to mainline condition . In 2001, 46233 was restored to operating condition and since then has been a regular performer on the national network. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LMS_Princess_Coronation_Class_6233_Duchess_of_Sutherland" rel="nofollow">Info from wikipedia</a>
