Although the ‘Princesses’ were used throughout their lives on express freight trains, such duties became more prevalent during their twilight years. In this picture, No. 46200 The Princess Royal is carrying the BR 1950 Class C headcode for a parcels, fish, fruit, horse etc train composed entirely of vehicles conforming to coaching stock requirements. The first vehicle is an LMS Period 3 all third carriage followed by two six-wheeled milk tanks. It had been returned to crimson lake, lined in LMS style, in June 1958 after six years in green and had a domed combustion chamber boiler of the type it carried from November 1956 onwards. It had replacement outside cylinders, had been fitted with a Smith-Stone speed indicator in November 1957 and AWS in June 1959. A further change of pony truck had restored the plain bearing type with which it had been built, cylinder cocks were steam operated, short discharge pipes were fitted, and the atomiser steam cock had been removed from the side of the smokebox.
