Y7 - final test before delivery!

Y7 – final test before delivery!

21st February 2011
Below: The Y7 has had a final test on the NNR, now wearing its LNER livery. Thanks to Harvey Smith for the photograph. The plan is to move the loco this week, place it undercover then arrange commissioning at Beamish and some crew familiarisation runs in March sometime. I will announce on this blog when the engine will be making its public debut at Beamish, so ask that in the meantime (as it will be locked away) that readers remain patient if visiting the Museum!
