It looks tha same colour red as the Hogwarts Express.

Probably is Olton Hall, doesn't look quite big enough to be one of Stanier's giants.

Hogwarts Express was stored at Scarborough. I remember on the news some vandals covered all the coaches with grafitti. http://news.bbc.co.uk/cbbcnews/hi/uk/newsid_3080000/3080060.stm

'The Olton Hall'?! That's like saying 4472 was 'The Flying Scotsman'!

Here's a class 55 Deltic 'The Flying Scotsman'.

It was thought to be Hogwart's Express on the other forum i nicked it from , will hidden behind the coachies , Not to far from Filey did you see it Stu ?

No I didn't. The only red loco I have seen in Scarborough was Duchess of Sutherland, But as said above it looks too small for that. I think Olton Hall is the most probable because there looks to be coaches there too and these sidings are usually empty, so it could be when it was stored here with the train.

Here are some pics of Duchess of Sutherland in Scarborough though.

Sorry just had a thought, they do happen every now and then. It is probably not Olton Hall, but Leander, it was running in 2006 between Scarborough and York, May the 27th. I just rembered that it is on a DVD I did for the LNERCA in a special feature of the York to Scraborough run.

There is only one red engine! James, of course!

(Love that 55 'Scotsman' poliss!)

lol, the Deltic isn't Scotsman, its the name of the London to Edinburgh express that the loco was named after.

Leander has been to Scarborough a few times but always manage to miss it .
