Once upon a time, we burn bright
Now all we ever seem to do is fight
On and on...
And on and on and on...
Once upon a time on the same side.
Once upon a time on the same side, the same game
And why'd you have to go, have to go and throw it all on my fame
I could've been a Princess, You'd be a King
Could've had a castle, and worn a ring
But no, you let me go...

6201 History
Built
6201, LMS lot number 99, was built at Crewe for the sum of £11,675 and named Princess Elizabeth. She left the works on 3rd November 1933
Record Run
The 1936 Record run made by ‘Princess Elizabeth’ is an enduring piece of railway folklore, and anyone wishing to discover the full story and detail could do no better than referring to the definitive publication on the Loco - “6201 Princess Elizabeth” - written by Society Chairman, Clive Mojonnier, and available via this website.
It is, however, interesting to reflect on the times in which that record was set (and remained unsurpassed in the days of normal steam working). There was no internet, and little access to television. Some of the population had radio but for the most part news travelled – very slowly by modern standards – via newspaper. The Railway Companies at the time naturally sought publicity and clearly some form of eye catching record was certain to bring the all important attention of the Press. By 1936 the ‘Stanierisation’ of the LMS had really taken hold, and the Company was keen to present a public image which reflected the very necessary, radical, changes and improvements which Stanier had brought about. This was set against a background of competition with the LNER which, with the advantage of the relatively flat and straight East Coast Route, was able to – and did – run very successful short formation, and thus lightweight, high speed trains.
The operating conditions confronting the LMS were very different, the route was altogether more demanding and the need to operate heavy trains was ever present.
In a direct attempt to steal the limelight from the LNER the LMS elected to go for an Anglo-Scottish record over the West Coast Route which would rival its competitors ‘Six Hour Edinburgh Expresses’. So it was that the plans were drawn – clearly success depended on tightly controlled conditions and meticulous planning, and 6201 was selected to make what was unashamedly, and only, a record breaking attempt.
The record was achieved and there was what would today be described as a ‘publicity coup’ which resulted. The rest as they say ‘is history’, but the fact remains that 6201 achieved lasting national and international acclaim as did its driver Tom Clark, of Crewe, who was awarded the OBE in recognition of his remarkable skills as driver.
In later life 6201 has notched up a few more ‘firsts’, but above all else she remains the Locomotive which set the record for the longest and fastest non stop run with a steam hauled passenger train.
Whist in terms of pure fame this cannot expect to be as glamorous as Mallard’s outright speed record (also achieved under specifically created conditions) it was nevertheless equally – if not more difficult - to achieve and is without doubt of huge historical merit and significance in its own right.
Transition to British Railways identity
In the late 1940's the Big Four, namely LMS, GWR, Southern and LNER were nationalised under the new name of British Railways and 6201 was re-numbered to 46201 and re-painted initially into lnwr style BR black then in to Brunswick Green.
Withdrawn
6201 was placed in store in March 1961, and returned to service in May 1961.
In October of the same year 6201 was again placed into storage at Carlisle Kingmoor.
In January 1962 6201 was taken out of store at Kingmoor to cover for diesel failures and continued to work until september 1962 where it was once again placed into storage, it was subsequently withdrawn by BR in October 1962 and purchased by Roger Bell.

Since Disney has a variety of Princesses of almost every culture and ethnicity, It's about time for a Latina one
I'd love to see Disney create a Latin princess like the one I created above. I've created both her everyday clothes, and her Princess dress. I have yet to come up with her name, and her hometown ( real or fictional) , but hopefully Disney will consider doing perhaps Princess and the pea with a Latin princess? in original 2d animation.
