Coronation Pacific locomotive in rebuilt form. The locomotives were
numbered 46220 to 48255.
Ex-LMS Coronation class Pacific 46223 "Princess
Alice" hauls train W106 southbound near Clifton & Lowther
approaching Shap, south of Penrith. The first coach in the train
is of LNER origin and is in BR carmine & cream livery.
The light exhaust smoke demonstrates that these were powerful
locomotives which were capable of hauling significant loads up Shap bank
without having to be thrashed. This locomotive entered service in 1937 in streamlined form.

LMS
6233 "Duchess of Sutherland" features in a few
photographs on this page. The locomotive was delivered from Crewe
Works in July 1938, having cost approximately £13,800. The
single chimney was replaced by a double one in March 1941.
Smoke deflectors were fitted in September 1945.
As BR 46233 "Duchess of Sutherland" the locomotive was withdrawn
from service at Edge Hill Motive Power Depot in February 1964.
She was then displayed for many years at the
Butlin's holiday camp in Ayr before being refurbished and returned
to use on the main line.
