A terrific June 1961 capture by Les Hanson of 'Duchess of Hamilton' working hard in her pre-preservation days. It is of course now fortunately preserved, but in 1961 was still making profits for BR. It is near Long Buckby in Northamptonshire, located south of Rugby on the 'loop' line to Northampton via Roade. 46229 was built at Crewe in Sept. 1938 as LMS No. 6229 and was withdrawn for preservation in Feb. 1964.
