@gm66power She is in the charge of the Princess Royal Class Locomotive Trust who are based at the West Shed, Ripley (close to Butterley). Sadly she is in need of a complete boiler and inside motion overhaul (and anything else that may be found once she is stripped down) and the Trust are reported as saying the Duchess of Sutherland (whose ticket expires shortly) is their main priority so PMR is unlikely to see active service for quite a while.

Magnificent machines, steam. Shame the Lostock Hall shed is gone. The sign plate for the old L&Y shed is on the wall in the NYMR shed at Grosmont. Fittingly, no 45212, the Stanier 'Black 5', withdrawn from service at Lostock Hall in 1968, lives there.
Yes there was - if you google for "Lostock Hall shed" you'll find some photos on flickr and other stuff. Chris (YouTube doesn't seem to let me write the address here!)
Hi Gary, as far as I am aware she was at the Butlins Camp at Pwllheli from 1963 to 1975. I have, however, seen a photo of 6229 Duchess of Hamilton at Minehead in 1972. Chris
Awesome..a trully magificant sight..and to put it in scale when the man appeared at the side of 46203 the loco dwarfed him!! thank you for sharing this fooage with us..
What a beautiful sight - 46203 in BR Crimson lake hauling a matching rake of 13 maroon Mark 1 coaches. I had the good fortune to travel behind this majestic machine over the Settle & Carlisle line on a southbound "Cumbrian Mountain Express" on March 4 1995.

This train must have gone over the S&C?

That's right - route would have been Blackburn - Hellifield - Settle Junction - Blea Moor - Appleby -Carlisle. Chris

Hi Gary, The Duchess didn't have any smoke deflectors when it was in Minehead so it could easily have been mistaken for Maggie..
