The Queen's Coat of Arms at Windsor Royal

This coat of arms is carried on the full-scale replica of the GWR Achilles class 4-2-2 locomotive number 3041 which was built in 1894 and originally named “Emlyn” after Lord Emlyn, Chairman of the Great Western Railway Company. Repainted in 1897 in GWR livery, the 57-feet long locomotive was renamed “The Queen”, especially to pull the six new carriages of the Royal Train. No examples of these locomotives survive today; The Queen (later renamed “James Mason”) was withdrawn from service in 1912 (see also Image]). The replica stands in Windsor Royal, a tourist-oriented shopping centre occupying most of the building of the original Windsor and Eton Central Railway Station.
