I Have Just Found This The Royal Scot

Thanks for that Chris. Great when grandchildren have two sets of grandparents as they get spoiled twice. Jean.
 
Chris lovely photo bringing them up right took all my brood to SteamTrain sites and they love them:)

Jean what about the two links I posted a couple of posts ago:confused:
 
Not wishing to show myself up as an 'anorak' but for those that may be
interested.

The Royal Scot and The Flying Scotsman were/are named express
trains of the past and also the names of individual locomotives.

To confuse matters even further the named engines rarely hauled
their namesake express trains.

Two locomotives of the 'Royal Scot' class have recently been restored
to operational status. 6100 the bearer of the 'Royal Scot' name has
recently been working on several preserved railways, and fellow engine
46115 'Scots Guardsmen' is fully restored for operations on the current
rail network.

Only these two engines survive from the original class of 71 locomotives.

regards Neville..

Hi Neville,

I remember seeing Royal Scot 6100 at Bressingham before it was
restored, and I have just seen it running since its restoration on
Youtube. It's an interesting point that as it was rebuilt in 1950, it
would not in in its present form have ever carried the number 6100,
but 46100.

Kind regards

Dave
