Stanier's 6234 'Duchess of Abercorn'

Illustrated as the locomotive would have looked in 1960, now in British Railways green with the crest version of the logo on the tender side. Still paired with its original MK 5 tender, number 9752, the ‘Duchess’ had recently been fitted with AWS and the Smith-Stone speed recorder. The double chimney was fitted in 1939 with the smoke deflectors being added in 1946. Originally numbered 6233 when it entered traffic for the LMS in July 1938, it was renumbered after nationalisation in 1948. It has the curved fall plate on the platform which was only on 9 of the 38 “Duchesses”.

This meticulously researched illustration is based on GA drawings from the NRM archive and hundreds of reference images.
