A snap of the DUCHESS OF HAMILTON,at the NRM.All credit to the polishers!!Their "streamlining" is okay,but not as good as LNER'S.I still think it's impressive though.

I was in the NRM a couple of weeks ago and if you compare ours to thiers, ours is looking a bit tatty round the edges.

You can paint as many stripes on it as you like, it still looks like an upturned bath-tub! The Germans had some locos (Pacifics, a 4-6-4 design and even a big tank loco) that looked similar.
I admit to a sneaking admiration for the Duchesses without the streamlining, still it is good to have a representative of the streamlined form - if only to compare with the proper way to do it (4468!). Have I read that the LMS casing was pretty useless as a smoke deflector?
