Today's steam test run, booked to run round the usual Carnforth circuit, was widely expected to be the first outing for 45699 Galatea, but 46115 Scots Guardsman was turned-out instead. It now seems likely that the "Scot" will haul the Lancastrian tour on Saturday.
Despite today's no-show, Galatea is now almost fully restored and ready to operate it's first train since withdrawal in 1964. The "Jub" was bought from the famous Woodhams scrap yard as a source of spares for sister loco "Leander", but instead has been undergoing overhaul at Carnforth for a number of years.
