Scotsman overhaul

Post by Bryan »

I have just heard that the overhaul of Flying Scotsman may have just hit a setback.
Can anyone confirm please?

I do know some detail but will withhold for the moment.

This is the first I've heard of any problems, there is an update on the NRM site today (13th May) stating that the cladding has all been re-applied, makes one think it is all go for May 28th.

What ever is 'appening?

Been to see her today. She looks quite smart in a black livery, better than I thought she would.
