Nice print! This is a Princess Coronation class locomotive and 38 engines of this class were built. The first 24 were streamlined, with streamlining last removed in 1949. Varying colors- black, green, blue, etc. The last 14 were built in 1944 and were not streamlined. The engine appears to be one of these 14. 3 of the class are preserved, including 6229 Duchess of Hamilton, which ran in the states as 6220 Coronation. joshua@joshuakblay.com |
