Trevor Camp from the has sent a photo of steam locomotive 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley at undergoing a steam test.

It is the first time since the locomotive returned to steam last year, at the Severn Valley Railway Spring Steam Gala, that the locomotive has been in steam in its BR Express Blue livery.

The livery choice was voted for by  Members and was completed at  in Crewe.

It is now expected that 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley will be ready for the move to the Nene Valley Railway, which is expected to take place on the 5th April. (See our Mainline Steam page / RailAdvent Plus for the latest notifications).
