6233 Duchess of Sutherland storms past Lightfoot lane with the outward leg of The Royal Scot. 263 viewsThis will be the final trip over Shap for this stalwart of the mainline steam scene. It is a great shame that we won't see this fine locomotive on the main line for the next few years. The good news is that the PRCLT will immediately begin the process of preparing the locomotive for another stint on the main-line, probably in about 5 years time.
Video to follow... plus photos of the return leg....
