The 2026 Duchess of Hamilton £2 Silver ProofThe Duchess of Hamilton steam locomotive is famous as an icon of Art Deco design in the golden age of British rail travel. Built in 1938 with the Art Deco Streamlining of the LMS Princess Coronation class 6229 designed by William Stanier. Even with this beauty it was capable of 110 mph. The Duchess of Hamilton travelled to America for the 1939 New York World's Fair Tour.
When it eventually retired from service, it was bought by Billy Butlin as a kids feature at Butlin's Minehead holiday camp. The Duchess of Hamilton was restored to its original condition and working order in 1980 and today can be seen at the National Railway Museum in York, sitting alongside the Mallard.
