On a day when four Class 7 and 8 locomotives of LMS ancestry were out on the main line in the North of England, I could only manage a short outing. The priority had to be to spend more time with David Smith's magnificent Rebuilt Scot No 46115 Scots Guardsman, as it awaited departure from Preston with the Vintage Trains 'Scot over Shap' charter to Carlisle and back. The morning was fine and sometimes sunny, in complete contrast to the wild weather lying ahead of the train on the high fells.
