Hi guys just obtained this shot of NER Atlantic No.697 and dynamometer car. Is this the one in the NRM?

Location could be looking across the ECML from Tweedmouth shed to Tweedmouth South cabin and the start of the Tweed Dock branch.

Yes it's the same one that's in the NRM, used for Mallard's record run and for the interchange trials in 1948
