  LMS Princess Coronation Class - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Princess Coronation Class is a class of express passenger steam locomotives built by the London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) and designed by William Stanier.
They were an enlarged version of the LMS Princess Royal Class.
Duchess of Hamilton, now out of working order, is in the process of a Steam Railway appeal to have her restreamlined.

 The 7P "Princess Coronation" class
Although the "Princess Royal" class was a vast leap forward in LMS motive power, improved services by the LNER to Scotland and the fashion for streamlined locomotive design in the mid-1930's meant that the LMS needed something to top the "Princess Royal" class.
The casings also made maintenance more difficult, and it is not surprising, that with the demise of the "Coronation Scot", the casings were eventually removed post-war, and by the early fifties, all "Princess Coronations" were unstreamlined.
6229, 6233 and 6235 are preserved; 6229 is undergoing refit, 6233 is mainlined certified as of 2001, and 6235 is a static exhibit owned by the City of Birmingham who have stated that in order to maintain the authenticity of the engine, it will not be returned to operational status.

William Stanier is appointed CME of the LMS.
At this point LMS locomotives have tended to be underpowered, a policy inherited mainly from the Midland Railway, resulting in expresses often being double-headed.
Princess Coronation No 6229 "Duchess of Hamilton" is shipped with several "Coronation Scot" coaches to the United States on a publicity tour, taking the identity (but not the colour scheme) of 6220 "Coronation".

First it was their LMS Steam And Freight add-on, with freight vans and light freight steam equipment.
LMS developed them for the high speed Coronation Scot train from Euston to Glasgow, and the included "Coronation" was the first of the class.

The engine characters were almost all based upon real classes of locomotive, and some of the railways themselves were directly based upon real lines in the British Isles.
London, Midland and Scottish Railway Pre-grouping Steam Tender Engine, a Hughes class 28 0-6-0 of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, James was modified after an accident into a 2-6-0 to prevent rough riding
The Works Diesel, who is a 'Type 4' Class 47 Co-Co, helped James to realise that diesel engines can be just as useful and efficient as steam engines.

The British Rail Class 04 0-6-0 diesel-mechanical shunting locomotive class, built between 1952 and 1962 and were the basis for the later Class 03 built in the British Railways workshops.
The class 04 locomotives were supplied by the Drewry Car Co., who at the time (and for most of its existance) had no manufacturing capability.
They were withdrawn from service earlier than the Class 03, being taken out of service between 1968-1971, though a large number were sold to private industry, allowing many examples to be later bought for preservation.

This was achieved by deriving the ‘Coronations’ from the earlier Princess Royals but used larger boilers, increased superheating and larger driving wheels.
The result of these efforts was that it wasn't long before Coronation itself, had wrested the speed record from the LNER at 114 mph.

The LMS appears to have been inordinately autocratic in its early days and punished several of its senior staff for daring to publish technical papers: O'Brien was one of those dispatched in this way for daring to suggest that electric traction might be more efficient at shifting its traffic over Shap.
The former 1941 is an LMS 2251 whilst the latter is an LMS Q1.
Claims that class demise under Stanier was due to breakage of drive axle - the left hand inside cylinder contributed little power and led to uneven rotational forces and fracture (see page347).
