    First ever Scot on the ELR? 25 February 2022

    The East Lancashire Railway brought back its first Spring Gala after the Covid recess, and its headliner was LMS 7P 4-6-2 No 46100 ‘Royal Scot’, hired in from Locomotive Services at Crewe. I believe this is the first visit of a member of this class to the ELR, (unless you know different?), so I made sure I was on its first train to Rawtenstall on the first day of the gala. There was a good crowd about but no crush loadings typical of Saturdays and Sundays during an ELR gala.

    Other locos featuring were the line’s own Big Engine, the ex-Southern West Country Class 4-6-2 No 34092 ‘City of Wells’, special guest No 1501 GWR Pannier Tank and a good selection of the resident little engines, No 32 ‘Gothenburg’, the ‘L&Y’ Saddletank No 752/51456 and the L&Y A Class No 52322.

    With fine and often sunny weather all day, this event was a welcome return to a degree of normality after two years of Covid, but with the stirrings in the east, who knows what the world will look like in another two years’ time? Solidarity with the people of Ukraine.

    Took advantage of having some family in Manchester to make my first visit to the railway in 4 years. We rode the trains on Saturday, not overly busy but the trains hauled by 46100 looked full up. We only got the last one that was double headed with Wells, by the it was a bit quieter of course.

    A mate has just sent me a video of 46100 on a freight taken today at Ramsbottom and Irwell Vale.
    He's not an enthusiast, only just a bit interested. He knows I am and asked if it was a special charter which it must have been. Anybody know?
