ROYAL SCOT SPEED TRIALS

LMS steam locomotive 46100 Royal Scot at 50 mph on the Severn Valley Railway - twice the normally permitted speed limit. The SVR was granted permission to carry out the speed test in preparation for the newly overhauled Royal Scot working on mainline services. The picture was taken between Bewdley and Kidderminster on the gradient approaching the tunnel at Devil's Spittleful nature reserve.
