Following its withdrawal in February 1964, no. 46229 ''Duchess of Hamilton'' was purchased by the holiday camp giant [[Butlins|Butlin's]], and put on display at their Minehead site.{{r|Roden|p=120}} In 1975, following a slow deterioration due to Minehead's salty atmosphere, and the looming maintenance costs, Butlin's signed a twenty-year loan agreement for it to be taken under the wing of the [[National Railway Museum]].{{r|Roden|p=140}} In 1976, following a cosmetic overhaul, No. 46229 was put on static display in the museum's York premises.{{r|Roden|p=141}} In due course a fundraising appeal allowed an overhaul to take place as a precursor to letting the locomotive operate on the national rail network once more.{{r|Roden|p=142}}

In April 1980 the locomotive again took to the rails and thereafter was employed in hauling many enthusiasts' trains.{{r|Roden|p=142}} After a substantial overhaul, the Duchess was declared fit in 1990 to continue working on the national network and at the same time the museum purchased it outright from Butlins.{{r|Roden|p=149}} In 1998, however, the locomotive returned to static display at the National Railway Museum in York.{{r|Roden|p=218}}

Following a successful appeal run by ''Steam Railway'' magazine, it was decided to re-streamline No. 46229. The locomotive was moved to [[Tyseley Locomotive Works]], for the work to be carried out.{{r|Roden|pp=221–223}} The project was completed in 2009, and the locomotive returned to York in May, now wearing its crimson streamlining and pre-war number 6229.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/4382057.Duchess_Of_Hamilton_locomotive_arrives_at_National_Railway_Museum_in_York/?ref=arc |title=Duchess of Hamilton locomotive arrives at National Railway Museum in York |publisher=The Press |location=York |access-date=26 October 2016}}</ref><ref name="nrm1976-7000">{{cite web |url=http://www.nrm.org.uk/OurCollection/LocomotivesAndRollingStock/CollectionItem?objid=1976-7000 |title=LMS(R) Steam Locomotive with Tender 'Duchess of Hamilton' 4-6-2 Coronation Class, No 6229, 1938 |publisher=National Railway Museum |access-date=26 October 2016 |archive-date=26 October 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161026114636/http://www.nrm.org.uk/OurCollection/LocomotivesAndRollingStock/CollectionItem?objid=1976-7000 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
