Train in good condition and tested working.

The first production ready-to-run model of the Coronation class. 

The 1948 Hornby Dublo model of 6321 'Duchess of Atholl' in LMS Crimson Lake.

This wonderful Train Set represents the highest degree of realism ever attained in Gauge 00, both in general design and extent and perfection of detail. The components comprise the locomotive and coaches of a typical express train in its characteristic red livery. The Locomotive, "Duchess of Atholl", is a splendid reproduction of one of the "Duchess" class. 

These powerful and attractive-looking locomotives are employed mainly in the working of the principal fast and heavy trains between London and Liverpool.

The Coaches are modelled on the very latest LMS standard corridor stock used for main line working. One of them is a first-third, and the other a brake-third with guard's and luggage accommodation at the rear end. These Coaches are particularly attractive; they have real cut-out windows glazed with celluloid inside. Another feature that adds to the realism is a corridor partition inside each coach. Automatic couplings are fitted.

(The model was first mooted in Jan 1942, but did not see production until Nov 1948. It was on general sale in 1949)

History: The real Duchess of Atholl entered service in 1938 in the striking LMS Crimson Lake livery as locomotive number 6231. The locomotive would go on to serve into the early 1960s under BR until it would be scrapped at Crewe in November 1963.
