From what I've heard, the Restoration has gone t*** up. Rumours suggest that some bright spark decided to use Araldite to stick the two cast halves of the chimney together. The loco has been moved as the previous company did such a poor job. Apparently she won't move faster than 25mph.

The 'Royal Scot' is currently being steamed along the WSR - West Somerset Railway - and after a tyre on the lorry transporting it burst and caught fire, thus causing further damage to it.

Think you need to update your info 
This happened at the end of March. Royal Scot is not at the WSR and has long since been repaired from the fire damage . She attended the Llangollen's big steam gala in April before heading back to Crewe where she still remains. Recently Crewe heritage centre held a special weekend with 6233 "Duchess of Sutherland", 6201 "Princess Elizabeth" & 6100 "Royal Scot" all together.
This shot was taken about a week ago of 6100 at Crewe.

Thank you Kieran. I only wrote what I did, as that was the last I heard and so Thank You for the update. To be 100% honest with you, I have had other more serious matters to deal with over the last few weeks, so I have been unable to concentrate as much as normal.

I completely understand.
It would be nice to think that now 6100 has been moved into the sheds, work may commence on fitting the equipment needed for main line use.

Britannia Class 70013 'Oliver Cromwell' passes Prickwillow while on a run between Norwich and London, via Ely and Cambridge recently. This picture was taken and kind permission given to use it on here by a Good Mate of mine, being Mr. G. Pettit.

here is the same loco on its run from Kings Cross to Norwich, via Cambridge today, but not as good as my mate's photo above is, because I pressed the shutter approximately 1 second too late.
