Stanier's 6231 'Duchess of Atholl'

Illustrated as the locomotive would have looked in early 1945 in LMS Crimson Lake livery with scroll and serif style font before it would be repainted in plain black in September of that year. The double chimney had been fitted in 1940. The original non-streamlined tender had been replaced in January 1945 with the MK4 streamlined design, number 9812. The distinctive curved fall plate on the platform was found on only 9 of the 38 “Duchesses”. A BTH speed recorder is visible on the left side trailing coupled wheel.

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