Summary

[edit]
Description

6203 was built in 1935 at Crewe Works, the third member of the class and first of the second batch. It was named Princess Margaret Rose after the then 5-year-old daughter of Albert, Duke of York (later King George VI) and younger sister of Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Margaret Rose. After nationalisation in 1948, British Railways renumbered it 46203, and withdrawn in 1962.

After withdrawal, 46203 was bought by Billy Butlin of Butlins holiday camps and became one of two preserved Princesses, the other being 6201 Princess Elizabeth. After cosmetic restoration at Crewe, it was moved to Pwllheli in Gwynedd, arriving there in May 1963. It remained there until 1975 when it departed for the Midland Railway Centre (now Midland Railway - Butterley) in Derbyshire.
