46100 Royal Scot 300421_DSC1092
Earlier today I learned that I had missed 46100 "Royal Scot" passing close to home en route to Shrewsbury from Crewe on a loaded test run. Fortunately, I was able to get over to Basford, south of Crewe, as the loco made its return (via Telford and Stafford) on the West Coast Main Line. The train was running about 15 minutes ahead of schedule and its arrival caught my cousin and I by surprise.
