LMS 'Princess Coronation' class Pacific

NY world's fair 1939

The Coronation Scot visits the New York World's Fair in 1939 ...

NY world's fair 1940

... and in 1940.

BTW the 'Coronation' (in red and gold livery) that visited the New York World's Fair & toured the USA in 1939 complete with regulation bell & electric lamp was in fact 6229 Duchess of Hamilton (still with us!) – the number, name and accessories were swopped back with the real Coronation when the Duchess returned home in 1943.
