Manufacturer description

6211 Queen Maud entered traffic on 21 October 1935 allocated to Camden shed and fitted with the riveted 9-ton LMS tender, which it retained until the first heavy service at Crewe during July 1936, when a riveted 10-ton tender was attached.

Fleetingly allocated to Crewe North at the outbreak of war in 1939, Queen Maud moved to the shed permanently on 22 May 1943 where it remained, apart from a two month stint at Edge Hill in 1956, until withdrawn on 7 October 1961.

The prototype was a steam locomotive designed by Sir William Stanier, built by LMS Crewe Works between 1933 and 1935. Only 13 members of the Princess Royal class were produced. The real locomotive 6211 Queen Maud entered service on 21 October 1935, initially allocated to Camden shed with a riveted 9‑ton LMS tender, later receiving a 10‑ton tender in July 1936. After a brief allocation to Crewe North at the outbreak of war in 1939, it moved permanently to Crewe North on 22 May 1943, with a two‑month stint at Edge Hill in 1956, and was withdrawn on 7 October 1961.
