The streamlined Duchess had the 'upside down bathtub'. I thought they
looked much better in British Railways days without the streamlining. Duke
of Gloucester was a different beast altogether. It was built to replace
'Princess Anne' which was destroyed in the Harrow disaster of 1952, and
was itself a rebuild of the turbine driven pacific. Duke of Gloucester is
a 3 cylinder pacific: Duchesses are 4 cylinder.
Then we had Bulleids 'Merchant Navy' and 'West Country/ Battle of Britain'
classes. Popularly referred to in their original form as 'Spam cans', I
think they look better as rebuilt by British Railways. For real ugliness,
there's Bulleid's Q1 0-6-0, of course.
