FINAL Working for 46100 'ROYAL SCOT' Prior to WITHDRAWAL at Crewe 13/01/25

[@stuartbroome1258]

She's done some terrific work over the past ten years, hope she is back soon.

[@robertradford6351]

Ha, great to see the Royal Scott, my dad was the engine driver of this fine locomotive years ago 👍👍

[@stephendavies6949]

You've got to admire LSL's attention to detail. The 40 was sporting the correct disc code for light loco movement. At least when it was exiting the shed...! Hopefully, RS will be back soon. LSL do have a few in-service stems locos on its roster though, so it could be a long wait.

[@JohnDuncanPeacock]

Superb Mr DTP,loved the way she appeared out of the steam mist.Beautiful Scot and the equally beautiful Andania

[@JRS06]

I didn't even know Royal Scot was due an overhaul! Saw it in February last year at the NYMR, and I was impressed by how nice of an engine it was. Hopefully an overhaul won't take too long.

[@trainsplanes]

There are a few other LSL locos in the queue so it may be a while yet.

[@adriangiddins6065]

Impressed with your camera lens !!!

[@davidhodkinson5164]

Brilliant well turned out locos hope she's soon back in action. Great video 👍

[@trainsplanes]

Thank you very much! 👍

[@neilosborne716]

Lovely engine dad she is going out of action 😞 is this for a major service?

[@nattyco]

Spotted her just once in the '60's pulling the Liverpool to Glasgow express travelling under a bridge in the Ormskirk area. I was very excited. I don't think she was green though, maybe red or black at that time. Remember D213 as well, taking the London trains from the NW, but I don't recall it having a name at that time.

[@JimmysTransportMarvels]

Very nice, hopefully, see it return soon!

[@Northerner_Transport_Hub]

Considering how long they're taking with Nunney Castle, I say not for a while

[@philclarke3203]

Great video and good to see you Rob. Sad day for the Scot, but even worse where have those 10 years gone??

[@trainsplanes]

Flown by unfortunately - Hopefully Royal Scot gets its turn again in the next few years 🤞👍

[@Thornaby37]

Excellent footage. Hope Royal Scot is back after her boiler overhaul Very appropriate that D213 had a supporting role, given that class 40s worked many WCML passenger services prior to electrification

[@trainsplanes]

You and me both - Hope to see Royal Scot again in the next 5 years 🤞

[@michaeltaylor1869]

A very nice most beautiful video well done some amazing camera work there as usual you have certainly put a lot of effort into this video. I have definitely seen you have tried your best with this and make sure you keep it up I Always enjoy, love ❤ watching your videos. Bye for now Philip

[@trainsplanes]

Glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@EWAAAR]

Great video. Hopefully, it won't be too long before she is back in steam.

[@brianwillson9567]

Just a reminder that we owe Butlins for saving FOUR LMS express engines.

[@RichardGreenhalgh-d6i]

And an LB&SCR A1X 'Terrier' BR32678 too. It was pensioned off to Butlins Minehead before escaping to join the nascent West Somerset Railway in the late 1970s.

[@brianwillson9567]

@RichardGreenhalgh-d6i and a second small tank. 6 in all, but it's the duchesses, PMR and the Scot that I drool over. I suppose that, without butlin, we would still have a princess and a scot in steam, at least some of the time, but with Birmingham incarcerated, we would have had no live duchesses since their withdrawal. Sutherland AND Hamilton out on the main line in preservation , and the possibility of a streamliner sometime in the future.

[@stephendavies6949]

Yes, I remember playing on two of them!

[@gainsbourg66]

Seeing and hearing an EE TYpe 4 in the presence of a steam reminds me of Willesden in the last days.

[@NorthWestLevelCrossingsChannel]

Excellent video as always 👍

[@ste.h9825]

Excellent video.Thank you.

[@nigelbevan8449]

Nothing to do with railways, but that was a nice capture of the sunrise 🌄 at the beginning of the brilliant video.... Beautiful capture....

[@JohnGeary-e9e]

Great video thanks

[@g3ges3]

She absolutely blasted through Watford junction a while back what a sight that was

[@TrainPlaneSpotter02]

Great Video Fantastic Catches There 👍

[@SamCooperBennett]

I mean, every cloud has a silver lining right? While Royal Scot is in Margate waiting for its overhaul, in the meantime we will have Bittern back on the mainline at some point later in 2025 :)

[@trainsplanes]

Indeed however Bittern won’t be back in 2025 - Likely well into 2026 if we’re lucky there. Nunney Castle and the Duke in 2025 are the ones 👍

[@Hacienda_27]

Why is it, every time i want to go out, i choose the wrong days 😂

[@MrRoblox848]

It sucks that her boiler ticket expeires at the start of Rail 200! 😔

[@DavidFennessy-yj7du]

What is this..‘boiler certificate’…business, why does take so long to get it done, ?? These things are pampered beyond any thing they got in service for the LMSR and British Railways!!!!

[@andrewyoung749]

@@DavidFennessy-yj7du or, in the reality we actually live in 1-the regulations are tighter than they were in the days of the lms, 2-steam is non standard in 2025, so everything required for them is a specialist part or specialist skill. and that requires, queue the bugles...money, loads of money 3-insurance costs are taken on by the operator or owner. the lms used to be able to turn them around in a month because they were in the business of running a steam powered railway, not running decades outdated tech on someone else's railway in an age when a steam loco is an almost alien object to the railway which requires to be fitted in with insurance, safety systems, legislation on and on and on,. its not complicated.....

[@PenguinTrains]

What’s going to happen to it?

[@maxlightfoot3886]

Overhaul

[@PenguinTrains]

@ cheers

[@marty6779]

Man, sure is a bad time to be a LMS express engine... Princess Elizabeth, Duchess of Sutherland, and Royal Scot, all out of service.

[@terrier_productions]

It is indeed sad to see a locomotive get withdrawn but I bet it won’t be too long before she returns! I hope she returns in LMS colours.. Would have been nice to see Royal Scot take part in the Rail200 celebrations whenever they get announced

[@ZalMoxis]

I hope it's not going to the scrap yard?

[@mrbaker7443]

Someone will rescue it from Barry 😉

[@lordsplonge8147]

Don't be silly. It's merely out of use until the boiler is sorted.

[@davidwalbank3317]

hope she comes back not a static exhibit when she was owned by billy butlin

[@Samstrainsofficially]

Probably will, got the king arthur back on the mainline at some point this year to look forward to so there will still be interesting things around, patriot should come in within a few years as well given how advanced that is. The amount of work left on the patriot is probably not a million miles from the level of work needed to fully strip, inspect, repair and reassemble this fit for mainline use again in reality. Its that far along as a project and progressing every month

[@SSccaanniiaa]

Farewell Royal Scot 🫡
