The big streamlined locomotive is Coronation pacific class No. 6229 Duchess of Hamilton. It was built for the LMS railway at Crewe in 1938. This class for a time held the world speed record for steam at 112 mph until eclipsed by Mallard. In its later years the streamlined casing was removed but the National Railway Museum reinstated the casing and unveiled it to the public in 2009. The locomotive is not in working order and the new streamlining is cosmetic rather than functional.
