Week 14

Post by x568wcn »

This week shes off ALL HER wheels, but sat on 2 sets of other wheels for movement.
Also she is in her rightful place, where Green Arrow was sat for many months. Looks like the next job will be the tender.

Other news is that the warehouse is closed, as the Scotsman story is now opened up, ready for 3pm on WEDNESDAY (What day is Wednesday?) 5th April when it opens. Ocording to the NRM website, there will be 4 screens over the engine, which will show the entire journey from Kings Cross to Edinburgh Waverley - in 40 minutes!

Also the Wheel is well underway (it should be turning by Next friday (7th April!)

As far as I can tell, the view is from the museum to the road, looking over to the otherside of the road and the station. It will be a mega sight when finished. Just remember, what you can see now, will be the middle of the wheel!
