    Scots Guardsman crosses Whalley Arches on her long awaited return to the mainline. Video to follow.
    I wonder when the first tour is going to be?

    Great to see 46115 back where she belongs. Well done David Smith and everyone at Carnforth for turning her out so quickly.

    That sound! Absolutely marvellous.
    Obviously you got your Honours Degree from the Peter Handford Steam Locomotive Sound Recording School.

    Incidentally, the loco looks brilliant too. Well done to the team at Carnforth.
    Dear Mr Smith, Can we borrow it at Swanage please?

    Just a pity that RTC cancelled 46115's two London trips in May. Wonder how long we'll have to wait for the reruns.

    Thanks Buzby, Sony HDR-HC9 camera with external Sennheiser MKE300 remote directiona mic with the added advantage of near perfect weather conditions, similar to those for the Welsh Dragon last saturday, and I suppose a touch of luck being in the right place.
