FLYING SCOTSMAN NOW

[trainlover658]

Funny enough, thats how she is now again.

[jrkepler]

Where would the world be without the Japanese tourist?

[legofan605]

What happend to him?

[scotsman125]

She will be back in 2011.

[LegoArtsProduction]

wow I hope its really good in ten years!!!

[HunterBHolmes]

Anyone notice that the name boards say "FLYINC SCOTSMAN" ? instead of Flying with a G its flyinc with a C..

[gogogadgetcar]

No wonder these overhauls take so long......you never see anyone working! get back to work & stop drinking tea.

[inuyashakagome445]

why they do that D:

[trainlover658]

@inuyashakagome445 so they can keep her from exploding on the mainline

[pinkzombie15]

what kind of camera do you have, i might have the same one!

[SilsdenCougar]

Will be worth the wait when she's finished. if she's coming out with double chimney & smoke deflectors, then surely she should turned in BR Green.

LNER green & smoke deflectors isnt right.

[crazyracer12]

@SilsdenCougar she was originally made in LNER apple green, so LNER apple green she's staying

[SilsdenCougar]

@crazyracer12 if without smoke deflectors then yes, LNER green.

[LNERMallard]

I found out that NRM got too money desperate and sold her boiler. B@$T@RD$! Well, they built the Tornado, so I'm sure they can build a new boiler for it... within the next several years.

[bittenof]

you dont mean the nrm built the tornado,do you??????????

[LNERMallard]

Um, not, I don't think NRM did, but whoever built the tornado can build another boiler for the Flying Scotsman.

[burnley5960]

No they have the A 3 Boiler don't worry mate the mighty one will be back

[Tomfunkforever]

i seen him live when i went there

[simonlilley]

Lets hope the NRM will put the right boiler on her not the A4 one she has had for years and revert to single chimney and LNER Apple Green.

[bladesman123]

i prefer mallard anyway, though i still hope the scotsman will be running again soon

[warboss132]

10 year overhaul my balls! its supposed to be finished now by spring 09

[McMintaboi]

great, york railway museum.....nice loco lol, classic lner :)

[huntertomm]

should have sent her back to dancaster :|

[JUSTINCUETO]

She will be steam or tram or also diesel the flying scotsman?

[SolidJosh01]

iv been on the flying scotsman nd its my fav engine and if they said cant put her back that will make me very upset

[Inuyasha4lif]

Shes still running but when she got out of restoration most of her originality was gone,She now has smoke deflectors and two chimers and a double stack,what have they done to her?

[TTTELover001]

Poor Flying Scotsman...

[warboss132]

lol some of the parts had rusted beyond repair and it needed mainline overhaul so its good its getting overhaul

[sodor600]

They said that the Locomotive will be back around 2010.

[ajhdbsteam]

FFS do these people seriously dont know wot a freakin overhaul is? bloody hell, Bacially New boiler, OK? usual thing happens all the time, its routine, so FFS idiots stop panicing

[tonypilot]

Is it under restoring?

[captstar1]

not all people speak train Henryblue, gosh u have such a snotty attitude sometimes.

[FeudFan76]

I wish the US and the UK wren't so quick to dump all steam engines in the 50's and 60's. Steam engines are truly a thing of beauty. Even many people interviewed who have worked on steam engines say what a wonderful experience it is. It's like the engine literally comes alive. It almost becomes a living breathing thing.

[Nevawake]

there are four steam locomotives in Collie Western Australia. Just sitting in an outside museum rusting away. There all together and look beautiful but its a shame the locos might be scraped.

[Nevawake]

its a small country town in the south west.

[Stevehannify]

Wow! I can't wait in ten years time to see her running again.

[topkazfatt]

I do not know ten year overhaul well. Perhaps, I think that is dismantle overhaul obligated every ten years.

The follows are quotation from the sites of the NRM.

Flying Scotsman is currently in the National Railway Museum's Workshop, part way through its ten year overhaul...Notwithstanding any unforeseen circumstances, the locomotive will be pulling passenger trains in the 2009 season,

She will be back in 2009.

[thomasanddiesel]

i saw it there last year!

[matanuialive2010]

@topkazfatt wrong she is still in bits

[simierski]

This will be the most comprehensive overhaul Flying Scotsman will have had since 1967, and she will run beautifully, that I am sure of.

Fitted with AWS, TPWS, and vacuum brakes only (unsure why not both at present), and in what is most likely to be double chimney with smoke deflectors, she will look quite a sight.

[billyshoepack]

so sad to see her in pieces, the last time i saw her put together was in 2002! (when my grandads friend owned it)

[sodor600]

Flying Scotsman we hardly knew ye :(

[ThomasnBear1D3]

I remember they did something like that before with Scottsman, but not quite as much as this was done.

[trainboy7]

those monsters! look what they done to the flying scotsman!!

[StanierJack]

there are overhauling it.

[skarloey96]

its sad they took her apart

[TobyandThomasFan]

OMG They took her apart?!

[ThomasnBear1D3]

Oh......my........gosh......NN­NOOOOOO!!!!!

[therailwayinspector]

OMG! What have they done to her?! Well. She was old. She needed an overhaul
