The frames of the NRM's No. 4472 Flying Scotsman returned to York on December 2 after the fitting of air-brake equipment at Ian Riley's Bury works. The wheels will also be returning to York shortly following turning at Tyseley. The locomotive will be re-wheeled for the final time (there have been previous test fittings) soon after. Flying Scotsman will be displayed in York's Great Hall on May 28-30, outwardly complete albeit in grey primer rather than its final apple green livery. The NRM anticipates a formal unveiling on a date yet to be announced and remains confident No. 4472 will be in steam this summer.
