Another visit to the National Railway Museum at York, this time to see the very impressive looking London Midland & Scottish Railway 4-6-2 8P Coronation class No 46229 'Duchess of Hamilton', which was appearing as the star act in the 'Duchess of Hamilton Streamlined Styling An Era' exhibition, which is running until the end of 2010.

The Duchess has recently been restored to its pre-1939 streamlined form at the Tyseley works, and looks quite magnificent now. I would dearly love to have seen this running on the main line, it must have been quite a sight back in those pre-war days. Currently on display at the Great Hall in York, it's well worth taking a look at if you are over that way.

As often happens, our visits to York are timed to coincide with something interesting arriving there on the East Coast Main Line, and this time it was the 'Jorvik Fellsman' charter, which featured two DBS Class 37 locos double heading. Shots of these were taken both arriving and departing at the outskirts of York, and a few other mainline locos were also captured whilst I was awaiting its arrival.

York must have its own micro-climate I think, it lashed it down for most of the time we were there, yet everywhere else in the county, other than the city itself, seemed to be enjoying bright sunshine and fine weather - I thought that sort of thing only happened in Lancashire! smile
