Hornby Dublo EDP12 passenger train set, including a green LMS 4-6-2 "Duchess of Montrose" Duchess Class locomotive, running number 46232 (built as 6232).
The set also includes two dark red carriages with grey roofs, numbers M 4193 and M26143, and track. The train set has its original box, with the set's details on a large yellow rounded-cornered sticker.
The original loco
The Duchess of Montrose ran from 1938, and was designed by W.A. Stanier. It was part of the "third set" of the first fifteen Coronation/Duchess locos ordered (five in streamlined blue, five in streamlined red, and these five conventional-looking, unstreamlined locos, 6230-6234).
Further batches of the Coronation/Duchess class were built, both in streamlined red and in the unstreamlined "Duchess" form. All of the streamliners in this class were eventually converted to this more conventional configuration.
