'Mallard' moving to BH for a gala is pretty massive! Should be an interesting convoy to be photographed (which I believe will be hauled by the NRM's Royal 47798).

An announcement from the NRM today states that 'Flying Scotsman' will not be ready to attend this event.

My mrs is going to be gutted, 4472 is the only reason she agreed to give up her birthday to go to a railway event with me.
Does anyone think I should tell her?

Nope !!

Tell her at about half-way there that Thomas will be there as special guest loco in lieu of FS !!

ps Flowers nearly always work !!

Issue is, if you get there and she somehow finds out that its been cancelled for ages, which is likely. She will kill you best to tell truth now and then buy flowers to try make her come.

 

[deltic1989]

I decided to be honest and tell her, she still wants to go so its all good.

This has gone from being a preservation first to a really good line-up. Dammit.

It has just been announced on Look North that the loco won't now be ready to carry the Olympic Torch.

A statement also appeared on the NRM's official Facebook page too as well today. 46115 Scots Guardsman will instead now haul the Olympic Torch instead.
