oh right i did think it may be war time liverly, and can i just say if i offended anyone i do apologize, cant wait though till she goes green again. i saw her just b4 she went of for restoration, i was at primary school at the time and my dad booked me the day of so i could and see her at westbury, id say she running on her last legs as their was a diesel at the back helping out. anyway its nice to see she be back on the rails
@rockhaloschool Not really on her last legs at all. Part of the course, that some rail tours have to have a loco on the rear. Usually for doing shunting moves etc at the tours destinations, etc.Or in the case of one we was on last year, the loco taken off the rear & put on the front due to the leading loco having a fire.
WTF, why is she matt black and no longer 4472, they have buggerd up the best and the most famous locomotive in the world, was it rebuilt by chavs, they paint all their stuff matt black. this isnt cool. i think they should even restore her to how she should be or we need to steel her and show them how it should be done
@rockhaloschool Right, hold your horses!! Scotsman hasn't always carried the Apple green livery. What the NRM have done is to show scottie in it's WW2 livery, & good on em for doing so too! Gives us all a chance to see how Scottie looks in this livery. The restoration is being done right & very throughly this time & not by chavs!! This WW2 livery is only temporary. Once the final work is done on scottie, & the shake down running in turns done, it'll be going back into green livery
@masterdoctorten Actually i'd like to see scottie in the various liverys it's carried, not just the one it's well known for. So top marks to the NRM for doing this temporary repaint into the ww2 war time livery. Rest assured it'll be back in the apple green livery once the repairs are complete.
I am not normally a crying person even at funerals, but this engine moved me to tears, i was there when this engine was on display and it was one of the best moments in my life.
Hello again just to let you know I have subscribed, and was wondering, I know she will be repainted in apple green soon but do you know if she is going to run in this livery at all before being repainted?
@NZtrainGuy Possibly for test purposes, but when back to mainline running it'll be the apple green livery most folks like her in. Many thanks for the sub, kind regards.

@ay76 The different numbers are due to the fact that, during the war, she had to have her real number, but the 502 was to confuse german spy's, that's also why they painted the loco's in black and changed it to NE
@Dinosorable Yes, as it's got to go through all that mainline cert testing etc, as well as to be repainted into the LNER green livery, once tests completed. As they say, best things come to those who wait :-) Roll on september :-)
@Dinosorable Aye it is. But have patience, as it'll all be worth it. After all it's only a couple of months to wait to see it running out on the main. That's nothing if you think how long scottie has been in bits for!! Getting a loco basck into mainline running dosen't happen over night. What with boiler cert's, main line certs etc etc
@Dinosorable Never say never!! Mallard is currently up at Shildon (Locomotion) museum. Maybe one day if funds allow, they'll do the work needed to return it to the mainline. However, Bittern, Sir gres & UoSA will continue to do the honours.
@Dinosorable Sorry no. It's called "Bittern" Not "The Bittern" . Over here it's known & called Bittern. No one refer's to it as "The Bittern". Same with Mallard. How ever with Flying Scotsman, if you refer to it being "The Flying Scotsman" It can mistook as the named train service "The Flying Scotsman", which many other loco's have carried the named headboard.
@ay76 its due to LNER renumbering system they had when they were upgrading the A1 locos to the A3 locos, when it was first renumbered 502 i believe it was still a A1 Class Loco, but after being in the workshop to get a boiler exchange, it became 103 due to the number system, hense why when BR took over it became 60103
OMG she is BEAUTIFUL! You guys over there don't know how fortunate you are. Thanks so much for this! (I just gotta get the Hornby version of her in this livery).. My favourite loco of all time...even before Canadian Pacific's Royal Hudson.(which is #2)
@tommygrules4life As that would be the running number FS carried whilst in this livery. I'm sure 4472 will be put back on when FS is repainted shortly.
@cow2pug Scotsman has worn various liverys & variations during it's time. As seen here, gives the rare chance to see it 1940's war time black livery. Scottie will be repainted into Apple green livery very shortly.
@laservader1 Yes very much so, good that the NRM have given us all the short chance to see it in this livery, before the final repaint due shortly. Cheers.
Oh my god what have they done. I thought the Scotsman in br green was bad but this is bloody awful. The sooner they return it to apple green the better.
@pjlb2903 Not awful, but given us all a rare chance to see it in this WW2 livery. But Scottie is indeed to be repainted into the green livery, very shortly!! :-)
Excellent video mate i cant wait to see it running never seen it run before so i hope to see it when it returns to Scotland i thinks its coming up in September according to the paper i read :)
@drs47802 Think 1st run it's doing is from York to Shildon. So Hopefully it'll not be long before she returns north of the border. I've seen it run a few times now. Cheers.
@IanPooleTrains Was very busy, just a case of timing shots & doing some of them later in the day when it quieten down a bit. Glad you guy's are going to see thi history in the making. Have a good day. Cheers.
Hui Iain, I did see on the forum they unvieled her on Friday, been a long time under repair, will look better when gets her apple Green back, wonder if they will be back to do the Scarborough to York run...good one Iain....I thought you where up in Scotland this week end?
@howarth004 1st run is to Shildon in september, then a case of what ever the tour plans their putting in place. Be nice to be in scotland this weekend, but work call's this weekend :-( hey ho!! Cheers.
@Quaysidepiper Very very good, certainly added to this great occasion. I'll amend the video discription & give you a plug. Excellent stuff :-) Keep up the good work. Kind regards.
@TheLukei :-) you beat me to it, was just about to email you the link for this. Now the big question is, will they double head FS with Tornado??...mmmmm. Cheers.
@TheLukei Still be good though me thinks :-) Seen a glimps of Tornado on a video of Deltic 'KOYLI' seen starting up. Tornado was on the left at the end of one of the video clips. Reckon if they do run it, it'll be one hell of a turn out for it.
what other engines where they at the time when you went to york i couldnt see past the flying scotsmans tender but there was Evening star and some of the engines i've seen before
@Whizzer1 A fair few. Have a look on the NRM's / locomotion (york & shildon) website's for loco list's. Only film FS here. If you have a look at some of my previous NRM video's, should give you an idea of what to see. Don't forget there's the massive railfest 2 event at York NRM next year :-) Cheers.
@mrsoouter As it stands, Scotsman will be doing a shuttle service between York & shildon September 17th -18th. Plans are currently in progress for what tours it'll be doing this year & beyond. Full details on the NRM website. Cheers.
