The Duchesses

"Andrew Roden's book tells the full story of powerful locomotives' lives, through their time in British Railways service, during which their streamlining was removed; then, with the end of steam in Britain, the extraordinary saga of the saving of two of the class by none other than Billy Butlin, who put them on static display at his holiday camps. Finally he can tell the gladdening tale of how both Duchess of Hamilton and Duchess of Sutherland were eventually rescued, fully restored and returned to steam on the main line, and, in the case of Duchess of Hamilton, its remarkable and much-heralded rebuild to original streamlined form at the National Railway Museum."--BOOK JACKET.
