IN early 2015 martin walker's Deltic 55022 "Royal Scots Grey" went into Springburn Works for some attention. It emerged in the guise of 55003 "Meld" complete with Finsbury Park white windows, fantastic!
Here the ex-works type 5 heads to Inverness light engine as 0Z27 1050 Polmadie to Inverness. Due to West Coast Railways having its Operating Licence suspended it could not operate the Royal Scotsman so GBRf was sub contracted to haul it.
A Deltic is RA5 so can run on the Kyle branch and 55003 was positioning to work the Royal Scotsman the next day. Other legs of the luxury cruise train was hauled by a GBRf class 66. 20/4/2015
