Duchess Of Sutherland Back In Red | 9/9/2018

After an overhaul, 6233 Duchess of Sutherland has returned to steam and has been outshipped in LMS Crimson Lake. On the 9th of September 2018, the Princess Royal Class Locomotive Trust held an official unveiling of her new livery.
During the end of the day the crew let her out on to the Midland Railway Center's line for a run up and down the line.

Finally! ! Back to her proper colour !

Boy red truly fit engine shouldn't have painted her apple green but red rouge beautiful for sure.

[@rudycarlson8245]

@@priscillachapkylo934 Apple green is for the LNER not the LMS! I have to agree that she would would look great in apple green the Brunswick green that she was in before is absolute garbage it sucks!

[@mattseymour8637]

I do prefer her in red. Just didn't look right to me in the green. Lovely loco

[@WestCountrySteamVideos]

Great Video, this looks amazing in its new livery. The detailing is incredible

[@dodge2322]

Lovely Now look at 46203 Sitting in the shed

*The Proper Job - Great choice well done.*

[@royfearn4345]

That looks much better! Nice hooter on the 08 too!

[@JintySteam1]

It does! And yes, very nice 08 horn. :)

[@IvyWhiskeyDram]

Would have been nice seeing her in blue, but I'm glad shes back in maroon.

[@paulgmarriott]

Lovely chuffer. Reminds me of my childhood. I had a Hornby Dublo train set with real metal locos - now doesn't that show my age? -- one of which was Coronation class City of London in LMS crimson lake livery. It was a bit of a bugger, though; it had a habit of derailing round corners due to its weight and length. Happy days!

[@royfearn4345]

You should have made a better job of laying your track. I owned a lot of H-D as a youth and never had a derailment even running at insane speeds round train-set curves. But yes, happy days!

[@paulgmarriott]

@@royfearn4345 Limited space in bedroom meant tight corners.

I'm a tram and I approve this video

[@MrMoggyman]

Would like a chance to climb up on her footplate. My uncle Percy had many 'turns' on her as top link driver for the LMS. He loved the Princess Coronation Class locos. Had even been on the footplate of them back in the 30's when they were fully streamlined.

[@user-rc8vw4vy7b]

Beautiful!!

[@JintySteam1]

Thank you very much. :)

[@farric1]

My long gone boilermaker grandfather helped build these and many other locos at Crewe works. My farher was also a plumber at the works. I feel quite proud of this locomotive in a special way. Sadly my son is not interested at all!

[@howarth004]

She looks far better in Red

[@JintySteam1]

I can agree with you!

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

its the same livery that he wore since 2006 david

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

im going to see it at Rowley Regis because that engine is going to Kidderminster during the autumn steam gala

[@howarth004]

Scott Whiley thought it was red last time I saw her going in to Carlisle

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

it was mate she wore it until 2008 when it she appeared in black livery until 2011 until she turned green from 2012 to 2017 until she was back in red for this year event

[@sharksman20rocks]

It would be crazy if they decided to rebuild 46242 City of Glasgow

[@davidh.5204]

Magnificent!

[@joelcartagena953]

That Duchess is a very Big engine. Peeeep Pip Pip Peep.

[@JintySteam1]

Yes, and shes very powerful. and her Whistle would be like "Pooop poop poop poooooop" like Gordon. Thanks for commenting. :)

[@joelcartagena953]

@@JintySteam1And I really love her shiny red paintwork. Looks just as splendid as James.

[@Locos-del-oeste]

Exelente video !!!!👍

[@JintySteam1]

Thank you very much. :)

[@williamradford9631]

LMS 6233 Duchess of Sutherland re painted in her original red livery, out with her BR apple green and 4.

[@priscillachapkylo934]

She beauty in red maroon color beautiful and lovely too. The color it so apple green so yesterdays Don't get wrong but red pop out .

[@williamwoolhouse3702]

It was never painted Apple Green that was the Livery of the LNER.she was painted Brunswick Green.

[@rudycarlson8245]

@@williamwoolhouse3702 Brunswick green sucks! It’s ugly not a good paint color!

[@ModelRailwaysUnlimited]

Just wow! Not sure if I prefer her like this or streamlined now??????

[@JintySteam1]

Well Duchess of Sutherland was one of the Duchess' that was never streamlined, the only two preserved that was was Duchess of Hamilton and City of Birmingham.

[@neildelaney5199]

@@JintySteam1 Sorry for the rather late reply, did the streamlining prove anything? it surely wasn't just a gimmick? thanks for showing

[@williamwoolhouse3702]

6233 Was Never Streamlined.6230-34 were the original non streamliners that Stanier Intended.

[@rolandblack2939]

Magnificant engine - but wouldn't you think they would give it a whistle to match?

[@JintySteam1]

Do you not like the Stanier hooter?

[@royfearn4345]

I suspect this shot occurred shortly after firing up and steam was not at a very high pressure. Nothing wrong with the Caley hooter. I must say though I find the air pump a bit off-putting. Rather un-British!

[@rogerwatt3154]

Preferred her in green . . . but that's because how I remember her in the 1950s.

[@JintySteam1]

Well each to their own. I personally like things being a little different and having engines with different colours than their BR ones. It can be nice to have a vision of what things would have looked like in the 30's

[@williamradford9631]

She needs a nice footplate team coach, when out on tour with the WCT touring train

[@andrewyoung749]

looks great. i liked the green, not the black. but they have really missed atrick by not completing the set and doing blue for a bit. wish theyd drop those ridiculous crowns though lol

[@williamwoolhouse3702]

6233 WAS NEVER PAINTED BR BLUE SHE WENT FROM 1946 BLACK TO BR BRUNSWICK GREEN I N 1952.

[@priscillachapkylo934]

No way apple green way too much steal away the catcher design love red color beautiful too many apple green she red queen of railway red .

[@dblissmn]

Why marked as a 7P? I thought she was 8P.

[@sjsharpie4573]

As when she was under LMS she was a 7P and when she went to BR she was reclassified as a 8P

[@JMGamingVideos]

how do u become part of the crew?

[@JintySteam1]

I'm sure if you looked at the Princhess Royal Class Locomotive Trust website they'll have information of how you can volunteer for them.
