    Well, 44932 did fail with a hot box, so 46115 is probably more likely.

    I was secretly hoping for a black five today, but the Scot was beautifully turned out and looked a treat in the morning sunshine.

    Seen here cantering up the incline at Barkston Ash. LINK

    ps. Like the new motor Simon!

    Superb photograph Stuart. Scots Guardsmen looks absolutely stunning, BR brunswick green suits this locomotive.
    Regards, John.

    Thanks Stephen, I got lucky with the weather this morning.

    By the way your link isn't working for me.
    Thanks John, quite agree about the livery, especially with the sun on it.

    Earlier today I thought that 46115 was going to hold its form through the summer. rats

    Had a Fantastic day out on the Waverley despite the failure of the Scot which gave a very spirited perfomance on the way there. The 47 put in some fast times on the way back and with no water stops was able to turn a late departure of 47 minutes into an early arrival of 7 minutes.
    Full marks to WCR for getting the replacement up quickly and a big thank you to the train plus catering people for helping make it a great day out.
