6201 was built in November 1933 at the London, Midland & Scottish Railway’s (LMS) Crewe Works, the second of its class. It was named after the 7-year-old elder daughter of Prince Albert, Duke of York (later King George VI), Princess Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth II).

Despite the class officially being named after 6200 Princess Royal, the class received the nickname “Lizzies” after 6201.

After nationalisation in 1948, British Railways (BR) renumbered it 46201. It was withdrawn in October 1962. During its working career for the LMS it wore the famous LMS Crimson Lake livery (this livery is also what it has worn for most of its preserved career), alongside this it even wore LMS black. During its career with BR it wore both brunswick green and black, both of which were lined.
