London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Royal Scot Class 6115 (later 46115) Scots Guardsman is a preserved British steam locomotive.

[edit] Overview

6115 was built in 1927 by the North British Locomotive Company in Glasgow. It was named Scots Guardsman in 1928 after the Scots Guards. After receiving smoke deflectors, it starred in the 1936 film Night Mail.

6115 was rebuilt in 1947 with a new tapered type 2A boiler, and was painted LMS 1946 black livery. It was renumbered 46115 by British Railways after nationalisation in 1948.

46115 was withdrawn in 1965.

Scots Guardsman is one of two preserved Royal Scots, the other being 6100 Royal Scot.

46115 has recently been purchased by West Coast Railway Company, and is currently under restoration to main-line running standard.
