'Duchess of Hamilton', the newly restored Steam Locomotive goes on display at the National Railway Museum in York, Britain - 20 May 2009 The newly restored 'Duchess of Hamilton' is moved into position within the National Collection at the National Railway Museum in York. The 'Duchess of Hamilton' is the most famous surviving member of the Princess Coronation class. The engine was built in the Thirties during an era when designers tried to make engines more desirable by streamlining them. In 1942, its crimson and gold streamlining livery was painted over for wartime service but never restored to its original colours. The engine has now been restored to her former glory and takes pride of place at The National Railway Museum.
