- After a long time in repairs we finished the work on our Scot,we took her to the club at Whissendine on a cold day.
Many thanks to Mark for helping me with the repairs.
She ran a lot better with more power and very smooth running,just a few more jobs to do and she will 100%,as you can see the cold weather showed up a few steam leaks,I'm hoping to get these repaired before the New Year.
Looking forward to taking her to some longer tracks so she can really show what she can do.
Many thanks to everybody that has given me help and advice and help with the work,i'm sure you agree she looks amazing.
Great video! Lovely Loco!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Glad to hear you more or less got her sorted out now Chris .. looks to be running good here ..Dave
Thanks Dave,been a long time coming but nearly there now,will be busy sealing leaks over Christmas then another run on New Years day weather permitting...........Best wishes Chris.
Yay for Chris and Rosie. I had been wondering how your Royal Scot was doing and it's so nice to hear that she's now in fine fettle. She certainly sounds a lot healthier :-) Looking forward to seeing more vids of her visiting more tracks in the coming year!
Been a long time coming but we are very nearly there,not 100% but a lot better..We will be running her on the 1st, then we hope to take her to some longer tracks in 2018....Have great Christmas and all the very best wishes for 2018.....Have a good Frost Bite meeting.......Regards Chris and Rosie.
She sounds much better than when I last saw her Chris, a little front end steam leakage otherwise it's great to see this magnificent loco back in working order....Regards...Bob
It has been a long while coming but we are nearly there,she ran so smoothly and a lot more powerful with the new pistons,seal some leaks then another run on the 1st.Looking forward to that,just hope the weather is nice.....The club has missed two steam up Sundays due to bad weather so keep your fingers crossed........Best wishes Chris.
Great video. She looks awesome 🙂
Many thanks! We have a few leaks to seal and I would say she is finished..........Happy Christmas and all the best for 2018........Regards Chris.
Great to see the Scot again....So glad She's running better....Will be a weight off Your mind both.....Best wishes.....Steve.
Better but not 100% Steve, but we are getting there! I have enjoyed working on her but not so good just lately in the cold LOL! Lovely running her on Tuesday we have been waiting so long now.............Best wishes Chris.
Glad you're getting her sorted Chris & a very impressive three quick laps..... I see the building work is taking shape too!! Brian.
Yes Brian she is running a lot better but still not 100%,just some small jobs to do.....We ran the loco again today 1st,most of the steam leaks stopped and she ran well,we even had a coach full of passengers a few times and she went really well...Very pleased now......The station building still needs some work, but what a difference a year makes.......New Year steam up video should be on tomorrow..
Best wishes Chris.
Absolutely fantastic locomotive beautiful chris mate
For an old girl she is now running as it should,we are looking forward to many more runs out with her this year..........Regards Chris
@@wooltman I love my locos but I have to say I'm jealous if I win euros I'm buying one but for now 3.1/2 gauge my league and even then I inherited them lovely locomotive mate looking forward to more videos mate
@@marknewell7355 You can have loads of fun with a 3 1/2 loco Mark.I started with a Polly 1 and learnt the art of firing and driving...We visited other railways and loved the 7 1/4 gauge size,I was hooked,that's when the Hunslet came along....Keep saving and one day you could own a larger loco....Join a local Model Engineering Society if you havn't already,the guys will help you.....But don't be jealous, enjoy your loco and the hobby.....
We will be filming many more railways this year some you may never have heard of,I hope you enjoy watching them as well..........Regards Chris.
@@wooltman I do have loads of fun with them and memories of my grandad who built two of them the third I bought I'm in the process of rebuilding and painting them at the moment one damage I caused the others just wear and tear and lack of use a static model brought back to steam I used it for my 1:16th scale model truck heavy haulage I know there slightly out of scale but close enough haha
@@marknewell7355 good luck with the rebuilds and restorations Mark.Get some video and put on for us to see.......Chris
Your loco looks and runs superbly Chris safety valves lifting well so no problem Raising Steam !, I see Rosie approved of the repairs also , Merry Christmas and Happy new year to you both , Regards Graham
We are very nearly there Graham,seal a few leaks this week then another run for the Frost Bite New Years day run,fingers crossed she will be finished,we can then enjoy some runs at different tracks in 2018........Have a great Christmas and all the very best wishes for 2018 to you and the family........Many thanks for your support on YT over the years...........Regards Chris

Do you know of a Bassett-Lowke 7 1/4” Royal Scot running in England? My grandfather’s engine returned home after he passed away. I’d love to know if it’s being enjoyed.
Hi Jason.I know of a few Royal Scot owners in the uk and try to record all I see on photo's...If you give me more information about it,did you Grandfather build it or did he buy it from somebody..when it was sold and returned home,who bought it, plus any details of the loco,name of loco etc,I might be able to help you...If still running i'm sure it is being enjoyed.........Regards Chris
Bassett-Lowke Royal Scot built in the 30s. I have a list somewhere of all the Royal Scots that were imported by him. It was the only engine he owned that he didn’t build. I’ll see what I can find.
@@jasonixo The engine we are looking for was the first built, commissioned by Rinek of which all the other castings were made. Reneck went to England in 1933 after seeing an ad from Bassett Lowke advertisement that they were going to build replica's. Story says that he was disappointed he couldn't buy a flying Scot, so he came back with a George Vth (which my family owns and is restoring). He then went back and picked up the Scot a year later when it was built in 1934. When he died in ~52 his trains went up for auction, and Backyard Railroad Supply bought the George and maybe the Scott. Bud Kremers picked up the George and Ben got the Scot from either the dealer or the auction. Ben's family had it until Ben's wife died and it was sold to famous Dr Tony Marchington, who restored a full scale Flying Scot in 1998. Tony died in 2011 and we are trying to find out where this very historic engine ended up. I think you know most of this but it would be great to track it down. Thoughts?
What is the volume and pressure of the boiler?
26.7 litres...Boiler pressure 100 psi
@@wooltman thank you for the information
