With the nationalisation of Britain’s railways, the ‘Princess Royal’ Class Turbomotive later shed its LMS insignia, to be replaced with the new emblem of British Rail and a black livery shortly after receiving its new crest. After a long period of general repair, Turbomotive returned to the main line in 1947 under the number 46202, continuing its function as a distinct and entirely uniquely designed steam turbine locomotive.
Continuing as a distinct and uniquely designed steam turbine locomotive, the ‘Princess Royal’ Class Turbomotive returned to the main line in 1947, showcasing the new emblem of British Rail and a striking black livery. Replacing the LMS insignia, the newly assigned 46202 returned to service following a long period of general repair. As a key part of history regarding the nationalisation of Britain’s railways, the BR, Princess Royal Class 'The Turbomotive', 4-6-2, 46202 forms an excellent collectors model.
