6100 Royal Scot

Or, if BR Black suits you better, then from my own personal stable (the one on the left, not the 0-6-2T on the right):........wish I still had it, a real classic.

 

IIRC one of the mags reported running in to be at a line nearer to Crewe so the guys that have done the work can supervise the testing more readily I suppose.

 

M635csi? Nice!

 

Rileys have just completed a new expansion link for the middle engine probably the last piece before the boiler goes on , see the works.

 

Thanks for the updates gents!

Gorgeous car. What specific model was it?

 

A Thompson rebuilt of a Ferrari.

 

Hilarious.

 

635csi 3 speed auto 3.5 litre and yes, I was single then.

 

It was, but in the real world a comment like that would be followed by a slap on the back and the offer of a pint...

 

Boiler is now back in the frames!

 

This really is good news. 46100 shall be in great shape when she hit nr.

 

Has there ever been double headed Scots in Preservation ....!
Any plans for air brakes ?

 

Royal Scot is air braked. When overhauled at southall they cut one of the frame stretchers and put it there. Crewe have since changed this and it is now on the front left hand side just in front of the cylinder and goes up with a slight cut out of the smoke deflector. So doesnt look too bad to be honest.

 

HI royal scot was air and vac braked at southall. FISH7373 81C

 

What was the other Stanier BR Green loco at Crewe when 46233 arrived there today?

 

This one?

 

Must be 46100. 46115 was out and about further North.
