i got a feeling that the popularity of scotty will be taken over now that Tornado is out running up and down the mainline. I've seen Tornado, but have yet to see The Flying Scotsman, they have not yet bought it down on an excursion to or my local station, Plymouth
the flying scotsman is in the NRM York having an overhaul, they took shortcuts last overhaul that caused many problems, just so they could get it finished. you can go see her, but it is not recognisable. they are also repairing and using her A3 boiler, rather than the A4 boiler she was given last overhaul.
lol because its trying to be given a major overhaul which at the moment is failing and to be honest im glad because i hate scotsman and all a3's except for green arrow.
I Love The Flying Scotsman. He's my favourite Locomotive. Also I like his famous two tenders and his great sounding chime Whistle

couldn't agree more, if it wasn't for him we wouldn't have an A3 at all!
Just wish another could have been preserved!

the best engine in the world if you want my say is a4 4468 Mallard which is the real thing and the all of the kings/castles
a1/a3 4472 flying scotsman is not the original because it's had to many repairs and it keeps failing half the time

they estimate that they will be complete in 2010.

I was there at the "Doncaster Works 150 Anniverssery" It was the day I met the Flying Scotsman for the first time.

The Scotsman failed after this do at the Plant.
A air pipe fixed to the Westinghouse Pump severed.
Ask Dave Court he was the driver.
Where's my photos?
Met Mr Pegler a few times at Scarborough. A proper gentleman.
