British Railways Royal Scot class 4-6-0 express passenger locomotive number 46100 "Royal Scot", Initially built in 1952 in New Zealand this loco was imported into the UK by Society Chairman Barry Metcalf in 1995 as a "kit of parts" .

On arrival in two huge crates, an initial examination found that little major work was required and after several years of effort by Barry Metcalf and the "tuesday night gang" Royal Scot became the firtst locomotive to arrive and be steamed on the new South Downs Light Railway.

Now with a fully certified boiler, all that remains are a few minor embelishments and adjustments before Royal Scot takes her proud place at the head of a train on our railway.
