## About This Content
Once a record-breaking steam locomotive admired by many on the UK’s rail
network, the LMS Coronation Class ‘Duchess of Hamilton’ comes to Train
Simulator in its striking streamlined variant.

The LMS Coronation Class was a mainline steam locomotive designed by William
Stanier and built at Crewe Works between 1937 and 1948. In total, 38 were
produced and are the most powerful steam locomotives ever built in the UK,
with an impressive 3,333hp – more than the diesel traction that replaced them
in later years.

The first five locomotives built in the Class were painted in Caledonian
Railway blue with sliver stripes to match the coaches for the Coronation Scot
service, for which they were designed for. They also featured streamlining,
designed by Tom Coleman, the streamlining mainly added as a publicity stunt.
However, Stanier believed the added weight, increased difficulty for
maintenance and the fact that it just wasn’t effective at lower speeds, didn’t
make it worthwhile.

In 1937 during speed trials, Coronation Class No. 6220 reached an impressive
114 mph (183km/h) south of Crewe, setting a new record speed at the time.
However, shortly after reaching this speed, the locomotive entered a series of
crossover points and with insufficient braking distance, entered the crossover
too fast. Fortunately, the locomotive remained on the rails but destroyed most
of the crockery inside the coaches. As a consequence, record-breaking runs
were deemed too dangerous for passengers, crew and trains alike, and they were
subsequently banned.

The second batch of five Coronations was also streamlined, apart from the more
traditional Crimson Lake with gold stripes livery, one such locomotive being
No. 6229 ‘Duchess of Hamilton’. The ‘Duchess’ was built in 1938 and was the
last in the Coronation Class to be built with streamlining. Nine years later,
‘Duchess of Hamilton’ had its streamlining removed and smoke deflectors added.

Today, three Coronation Class locomotives have been preserved, No. 6229
‘Duchess of Hamilton’, No. 6233 ‘Duchess of Sutherland’ and No. 6235 ‘City of
Birmingham’. ‘Duchess of Sutherland’ remains in mainline service on railtours
around the UK, while ‘City of Birmingham’ and ‘Duchess of Hamilton’ are static
displays in museums, the latter alongside LNER A4 Class ‘Mallard’ at the
National Railway Museum in York, resplendent in its original streamlining.

The Coronation Class ‘Duchess of Hamilton’ for Train Simulator is available in
LMS Crimson Lake livery with gold stripes, and includes Mk1 passenger coaches
in LMS Maroon Lined (late crest) livery.

The locomotive is also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive
the LMS Coronation Class (Streamlined) ‘Duchess of Hamilton’ on any Quick
Drive enabled route for Train Simulator, such as those available through
Steam. Also included are scenarios specifically for the Settle to Carlisle
route (available separately and required to play these scenarios).
