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

[ay76]

@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

I wish that would at least run her with 60613. In apple green they look great together.

@justindw199 Or in the current livery Tornado is in now.

@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.

[masterdoctorten]

they should have kept it green and 4472, that is what is famous for

[ay76]

Cool. As comments set to pending approval, you only have to post once. Comment will always appear once i've checked them, cheers.
