    RB004, one of the prototypes for the Pacers has moved from Whitrope to the Shed 47 group based at Lathalmond outside of Dunfermline. Making this the second item of rolling to move or be in the process of being moved out of Whitrope this year.

    What is the significance of that part of your post? Is there a back story here?

    26040 has moved on as well, to somewhere near Preston I believe. Closer to the owner's home, and not in the back end of beyond like before.

    The 26 was announced to be leaving for somewhere near Carlisle and was loaded last night according to its Facebook. RB004 was the just about the only piece of stock that moved under its own power. Feels like a slow, quiet wrap up of the whole operation up there.

    Multiple items of rolling stock get moved from railway sites all the time. I was just wondering why the OP thought it necessary to mention that this was the second item to move this year.

    Not even this year, this week as it turns out. It was announced a few months back that the 26 would be leaving for another pastures anew but I wasn't following for an exit date.
