R30398 Hornby Princess Royal Class Turbomotive 4-6-2 Steam Loco number 6202 in LMS Maroon livery - Era 3

This was the third prototype of the LMS Princess Royal Class, utilising the same frames as the rest of the class, but having steam turbines in place of conventional cylinders. Completed at Crewe Works in June 1935, the locomotive was used on West Coast Main Line expresses and proved to be more economical and eliminated hammer blow to the track. However, it was more complex to drive and when a turbine failure occurred in 1949 it was laid up before being rebuilt as a conversional locomotive, numbered 46202 and named ‘Princess Anne’, in 1952.
