    Saw a Black 5 tender heading south on the M6 north of Preston today, could this be it?

    Now that would be a fun performer on the Strathspey. Those large driving wheels would be very tempting to give a bit more welly on the long straight to Broomhill. But somehow a smaller wheeled STD 4 is a notably worse performer according to Those Who Must Not Be Questioned despite being built to slog.

    There are quite a few experienced people who share that view. I don’t think the Schools is the NYMR’s to sell, though.

    What state is the S15 825 in? Isn't that having some form of work done with the view of returning to traffic in the not too distant future?

    Currently in the later stages of overhaul. It was predicted back in traffic later this year but the safer bet would be early next year I think. 2027 is the Centenary for that engine so its always been the target to have it back for that season.
