<p>The story of the Princess Coronation Class is one of split personalities and purposes and represents the difference in opinions and attitudes between design on the one hand, and perceived cost savings on the other. </p> <p>The original streamlined form of the class arose from tests by the London Midland Scottish Railway's Research Department on Stanier's development of the Princess Royal class locomotives. Stanier was said to be ambivalent about the economic value of streamlining but was aware of the publicity value of such a design. When the opportunity to produce five conventional versions of the Coronation Pacific as a comparison to the streamlined version arose, Stanier was quoted as saying, 'They can have their streamliners if they b***** want them, but we will also build them five proper ones'.</p> <p>Those first five conventional locomotives were 6230 Duchess of Buccleuch to 6234 Duchess of Abercorn and colloquially they were known as Duchesses, after the first of this sub-class. Appearing in 1938 with a single chimney and without smoke deflectors, it is this form that many purists regard as the finest Pacific locomotive produced. The next four Duchesses to appear were 6249-6252 in 1944 and they emerged from works with a double chimney.</p> <p>Originally ordered as streamlined, the demands of maintaining the streamlined form exceeded the cost savings in coal and so they emerged from works without the casing, but with streamlined tenders (which had been completed before that decision was taken). In 1946 the next three Duchesses, 6253-6255, differed in appearance again, this time the curved fall plate at the front was replaced by a split platform and smoke deflectors were fitted. The final 'as new' produced Duchesses were 6256 and 46257 (as it appeared straight into British Railways ownership) and these were modified designs by Ivatt, featuring a different cab, pony truck, reversing gear and roller bearings.</p> <p>The process of de-streamlining (or defrocking as the fitters called it) the remaining engines began with 6235 City of Birmingham in April 1946, with 6243 City of Lancaster being the last in May 1949. Because the smokeboxes were angled down between the chimney and door to accommodate the sweep of the streamlined casing, upon defrocking they retained this look, being referred to as semi-streamlined by enthusiasts of the time. Eventually the raked smokeboxes were replaced with conventional smokeboxes, so that by late 1958 the majority of the fleet showed a similar appearance, although all the defrocked locomotives had the split platform "utility" front end.</p> <p>Withdrawal of the class commenced in December 1962 and by October 1964 all had been withdrawn. Fortunately, three locomotives were saved for preservation; 6229 Duchess of Hamilton, 6233 Duchess of Sutherland and 6235 City of Birmingham. 6241 Duchess of Edinburgh was built streamlined at Crewe and entered traffic at Camden on April 13, 1940, paired with tender 9804. The streamlined casing was removed on February 2, 1947 whilst the locomotive was still at Camden, a shed where 6241 spent the majority of its working life. In storage between November 1962 and February 1963, then again between October 1963 and March 1964, 6241 Duchess of Edinburgh was withdrawn in September 1964.</p> <h3>Specification</h3> <ul> <li>Item Scale: 1:76 Scale 00 Gauge</li> <li>DCC status: DCC Ready 8 pin socket</li> <li>Finish: Painted</li> <li>Gauge: OO</li> <li>Operator: LMS</li> <li>Designer: Sir William Stanier</li> <li>Wheel arrangement4-6-2</li> <li>Minimum radius curve: 2nd Radius (438mm)</li> <li>Motor: 5 pole skew wound</li> <li>Coupling: NEM</li> </ul>

Okay, here’s a captivating product description designed to entice buyers, leaning into a narrative and using evocative language – aiming for a strong, persuasive tone: “**Unleash the Power of the Lord Nelson – A Piece of Railway History** Step back in time and experience the raw, thrilling power of the Lord Nelson Class, a locomotive that redefined express passenger service on the iconic Southern Railway. This isn’t just a model; it's a meticulously crafted miniature of a legend, a tangible link to a golden age of steam. Developed under the visionary leadership of Richard Maunsell, the Lord Nelson was born from a critical need: to dramatically improve express train speeds on the Southern network while honoring the region’s challenging track gauges. Born from the successes of the King Arthur, the Lord Nelson boasted a monumental 4-6-0 wheel arrangement, packing a serious punch thanks to a lengthened Belpaire boiler and a cleverly engineered crankshaft design that generated a remarkable eight exhaust pulses per revolution – far surpassing the King Arthur’s capabilities. Imagine the Lord Nelson thundering down the line, pulling a 500-ton train at a blistering 55 mph! Maunsell’s team pushed the boundaries, establishing a theoretical tractive power of 33,300 lbf – a claim that cemented the Lord Nelson's reputation as ‘the most powerful express locomotive in Britain.’ This meticulously detailed model captures every nuance of the original, from the imposing Belpaire firebox to the beautifully crafted coil-sprung bogie. You’ll see the subtle differences introduced by Maunsell and his successors, including the iconic smoke deflectors and a range of bogie frames and cylinders – a testament to continual refinement. **A Heritage of Performance** Throughout its service life, the Lord Nelson saw action across the Southern network, pulling through iconic stations like Nine Elms and Bournemouth. It even graced the decks of the Dover boat trains! Later modifications included innovative tenders – from classic 5000-gallon bogie versions to the distinctive Urie style. **Own a Piece of Legacy** This 1:76 scale OO Gauge model isn’t just a toy; it's a collector’s item and a fantastic addition to any railway enthusiast's collection.
