    46115 CME 1b.jpg

    Despite the inclement weather, LMS 7P Class 4-6-0 No. 46115 'Scots Guardsman' makes a fine sight as it speeds towards Shap summit with the northbound 'Cumbrian Mountain Express' (and not a diesel to be seen!!)

    Having journeyed through Barrow in Furness, LMS 7P class 4-6-0 No. 46115 'Scots Guardsman' works the return leg of the 'Cumbrian Mountain Express' through Dalton
