Excellent images, and that music is a classic associated with childhood memories of old railway Newsreel films...do you know what it's called please? 5* Bob
Shame Scots Guardsman didn't keep it's LMS black livery as it looked stunning in it. Having said that it looks very smart in BR green. A credit to all those WCR who overhauled it, I look forward to seeing how se fairs on the mainline!!!
Perhaps the LMS black could be concidered in the future when a re-paint is needed!:D
What a lot of people tend to forget is that 48151 never carried the name Gauge O Guild in service. I could understand the name on something other than an 8F, but I think that there are too many named Black Fives. By the way I think the paint on 46115's tender was still wet!
I went there and it was a good day, it was great to see Scots Guardsman for the first time - the last time I was at the old Steamtown was in 1992. It is sad though how much the old place has deteriorated.

Very famous sight at the end when that person was touching Gauge O Guild, and nearly everyone told her to move including me!
