Production Details:
Hornby Dublo BR Early Princess Coronation Duchess
of Buccleuch 46230. Also known as the ‘Duchess’ Class, Stanier’s
‘Princess Coronations’ were among the biggest and most powerful express
passenger locomotives in Britain.
Thirty-five were built at Crewe
Works between 1937 and 1948, many having streamlined casing. Ten were
set aside for hauling the prestigious ‘Coronation Scot’ between London
Euston and Glasgow. No. 46230 wasn’t one of those, but it was the first
of the third batch of locomotives, which consisted of five
non-streamlined versions, and went new to Camden in June 1938 as LMS No.
6230. At Nationalisation in 1948, the locomotive became BR No. 46230 and
was painted in lined Brunswick green as depicted by the model. At the
time, the locomotive was based at Polmadie shed in Glasgow, from where
it was withdrawn in December 1963.
