Some little info about 6201 Princess Elizabeth
London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Princess Royal Class No. 6201 (British Railways No. 46201) Princess Elizabeth is a preserved British steam locomotive.
Princess Elizabeth is one of two preserved Princesses; the other being 46203 Princess Margaret Rose. 6201 was built in November 1933 at Crewe Works, the second of its class. It was named after the 7-year-old elder daughter of Albert, Duke of York (later King George VI), Princess Elizabeth (today HM Queen Elizabeth II). Despite the class officially being named after 6200 Princess Royal, the class received the nickname "Lizzies" after 6201.
After nationalisation in 1948, British Railways renumbered it 46201. 46201 was withdrawn in October 1962. During its working career for the LMS it wore the famous LMS Crimson Lake livery (this livery is also what it has worn for most of its preserved career), alongside this it even wore LMS Black. During its career with BR it wore both BR Brunswick Green & BR Black, both of which were lined out.
