60103 FLYING SCOTSMAN
Ex LNER A3 Pacific 4-6-2 60103 'Flying Scotsman' makes its first moves at the NRM York on 23rd February 2016, after being painted in lined BR Green livery complete with cab numbers and nameplates, prior to undertaking a loco and coach test run to Scarborough.
This further test run was required following its turn on the WCME on 6th February one of the main driving wheel bearings ran warm and had to be removed and repaired. Subsequently, during an FTR exam, one of the main springs was found to be cracked and had to be replaced, delaying the test run by a day.
