 G3 LMS Coronation in Blue/Silver livery LMS Coronation Class Designed by Sir William A. Stanier the first of these magnificent streamlined locomotives was built at Crewe in 1937. With a tractive effort of 40,000lb these 4 cylinder locomotives were extremely powerful and can be seen as a response by LMS to the LNER A4's built less than 2 years earlier. In fact many maintain that if it were not for the storm clouds of World War II gathering that the LMS Coronation could have snatched the world speed record for steam away from the A4 Mallard. The first locomotive "Coronation" gave its name to the Class and was out-shopped in striking blue and silver livery. A set of nine Coronation Scot coaches were specially prepared in blue/silver livery to match the locomotive. This period represented the height of the golden age of steam with rivalry between the big four companies driving innovation to create some of the most iconic locomotives ever to run on British rails. Following the first 5 locomotives in blue and silver the second batch of 5 were turned out in red and gold livery. Amongst these was Duchess of Hamilton currently preserved and returned to its original streamlined form. The Gauge 3 Model........ The Coronation Class model is built to a near exact scale of 1/22.6.
