One that got away. Stanier Princess 4-6-2 No. 46200 ' Princess Royal has been stored pending the preservation that never happened.The loco is seen here awaiting her fate at Carlisle (Upperby) on August 26th 1964. 46200 had been a Kingmoor engine and had languished pending her fate since withdrawal nearly 2 years previously. Her end was nigh though as she was cut up at Coatbridge only a month after this shot was taken.
