Hornby R3857 LMS Princess Coronation Class 4-6-2 6220 Coronation.
The Princess Coronation Class was designed by Sir William Stanier. The lead locomotive in this class, 6220 Coronation entered the LMS stock book on 1 June 1937, having been displayed to the press at Crewe Works on 26 May. Regular Coronation Scot services commenced on 5 July, but prior to that 6220 Coronation was filmed for a publicity feature with the train between Colwyn Bay and Llandudno Junction. From 20 December 1938, 6220 ran as 6229 Duchess of Hamilton, as 6229 was masquerading as 6220 Coronation during a visit to the USA and even after returning in 1942, it was not until 14 May 1943 that 6220 Coronation was restored to its correct identity.
This model is 301mm (length) and is decorated in LMS Caledonian Blue livery.
