Want to find out more about the perfectly streamlined Duchess of Hamilton, now restored to her original streamlined form? Explore the footplate of this iconic 1930s locomotive – a stunning piece of 1938-built Art Deco opulence that wowed design critics on both sides of the Atlantic. The streamlined Duchess was a modern machine for a modern age.
