Hornby LMS Princess Royal 4‑6‑2 model (Era 3) replicates locomotive number 6201, named Princess Elizabeth. The model is finished in pristine condition with a Crimson Lake livery and carries the original running number and name. It measures 299 mm in length and is fitted with an 8‑pin DCC ready socket, a five‑pole skew‑wound motor, and power pickup through both the driving and tender wheels.

The locomotive is presented with NEM / tension‑lock couplings and represents the London, Midland & Scottish Railway 8P Princess Royal class, designed by William Stanier and built at LMS Crewe Works between 1933 and 1935. The real locomotives were produced in a total of thirteen examples and operated by the LMS during the period known as the Big Four (LNER, LMS, GWR and SR). The model’s wheel arrangement is 4‑6‑2 and it is intended for use as a steam‑powered model locomotive.
