Please please bring her to visit Australia where she can climb some proper hills. We dont count 1 in 75 as a bank here, she would eat those up of course but would be amazing to see her on the 1 in 33s of the Blue Mountains just west of Sydney.
Streamlined red and gold is her 'right' livery. Blame ze germans and the second world war for removing it. Not that I dislike how she looks here. It's nice to have one of each at the moment, a steamliner, a purple, and a green! :-)
If I won the lottery..a large jackpot, i'd walk down there right now and offer to donate the money to get her in steam, along with her own rake of coaches with the same livery on. Seeing that go up Shap would be lovely.
it she wasnt Streamlined, BR Maroon, or nothing, i hate BR Green, they just look so...... plain in that livery. Hopefully, The NRM will steam her sometime soon, seeing a living breathing Streamlined Princess Coronation tackle Shap or the Setlle to Carlisle Line would be beyond epic, make it happen soon like in the next two years soon NRM!
Nice. 46229 looks like a beauty in the snow.

I agree, its a disgrace that all that money has been wasted restreamlining her for her to rot away inside a bloody museum.
Just look at Hamilton on this vid - thats what i call a real Duchess. And yes, it would be utterly amazing to see 46235 working again.
