    Re: 6100 Royal Scot test runs

    You've misunderstood me. 34081's overhaul has yet to commence beyond removing the "thieveable" non-ferrous items for safe keeping and the occasional cleaning party to keep her looking reasonably smart. To all intents and purposes she's still complete and untouched since withdrawal from traffic. Our pre application "application" was approved by the HLF who gave us some pointers as to what they expect to see in the full application. We are now steadily working through the critical path analysis, flow charts, cash flow projection, education etc. A bit of a slow process but better by far to take our time to get it right than rush things and screw it up. We have a good man writing our application as he has written a successful one in the past for another Pacific.

    Re: 6100 Royal Scot test runs

    Im going back to the ORIGINAL question,as in the title...is 6100 Royal Scot having a test run or has it gone back into it's 'lock-up'.I presume,Southall?

    I think this is a fair request for an answer,and make it simple,please..Mr.Moderator,can you help.

    Thank You...

    As far as I know it's still at Southall today. But it won't be for much longer, and it won't be doing any test runs from there either.

    Have a look back a few posts for a hint as to where it is going. Weather permitting I'll be surprised if it's still at Southall come early next week, or even the weekend.

    North Norfolk Railway to join 34081 and its overhaul?

    I can't find any reference to where 6100 might go next.

    Re: 6100 Royal Scot test runs

    you are only going to get a straight answer if those responsible for the overhaul post on here with an equivocal answer , and i'm not aware that anyone has . So welcome to the world of supposition and conjecture.

    Is it or isn't it what?

    You won't get that yet, because it's supposed to be a secret. Much like the names of victims of fatal accidents are not announced until the next of kin have been informed.

    Apart from that, I'm still constantly surprised at how dense the grey matter is amongst some of the forum contributors. You lot wouldn't be much cop at the times crossword.

    I'm going for a place which already has a few LMS machines residing inside.

    Then I'll wait till next week and depending upon what happens may go and buy a lottery ticket [-X \:D/

    Re: 6100 Royal Scot test runs

    Well, it didn't take much finding.
    Based on that, I'll bet a king size Mars Bar that it will end up at Crewe. Any takers?

    No lottery ticket for me then...

    Suppose a Mars Bar is a good consolation prize though :)

    Steam Railway (Issue 359) suggests it will (probably) go to the West Somerset for completion and running in, with main line testing after the Spring Steam Gala in March.

    Let's see who's nearer the mark, then. Bongo or Steam Railway.

    Re: 6100 Royal Scot test runs

    Given The Beano's recent form, that's the one place it won't end up then, even if it was the intention when they went to press.

    Ah I didn't try very hard then. Interesting then. I take it the locomotive is moving to LNWR Crewe for the overhaul to be finished and then run-in?

    I wouldn't bother. It won't make any difference because they've got very short memories.

    You should see some of the nonsense I get in my PM inbox. Here's a sample after the discussion a couple of days ago.

    Almost like a compliment coming from someone like that - lol

    Bongo - being right means that you have to accept not being popular. It comes with the territory.
