The Streamliners (pt2) NRM York

In this, the 2nd part of this series we take a look at recentley re-streamlined 6229 Duchess of Hamilton. It's nice to actually now see one again, & to compare it to the LNER A4 Mallard. So folks which do you like best, Mallard or Hamilton?? Many thanks to the NRM & also the folks that have done all the work on Hamilton.Cheers.

The A4 streamling looks better to my eye. However, the crimson and gold is a stronger color combination. I'm partial to LNER locos more than LMS.

Both fine looking beasts, but which to choose??

[Gmclear321]

i prefer the a4s but the corination scotts just look out standing compared with any other streamliner of its period great vid 5 stars :)

[ay76]

Thank you.Yes it's good now that we can compare both side by side. Hat's off to the team that re-streamlined Hamilton. Cheers.

Mallard FTW. Gresley was always superior - his streamline casing didn't add too much weight and didn't hinder maintenance as much as Stanier's

[ay76]

A very classy looking beast :-) cheers.

[ay76]

Yes, that's quite right. Must of been amazing to of been around & seen these loco's really go for it back then. Cheers.

If I am correct there was speed competition between the LNER and the LMS from London to Scotland. The streamlined 8P on the LMS and the Gresley A4 on the LNER

Thank you, cheers.
