A 1930s steam locomotive which has been used to pull the Royal Train is being rolled out following an overhaul. The Duchess of Sutherland became the first steam locomotive to haul the Royal Train for 35 years when it transported the Queen as part of her Golden Jubilee in 2002. The locomotive has been taken apart, put back together in safe working order and restored to an authentic green. Crowds are expected at Midland Railway, near Ripley, Derbyshire to see it.
