Great footage, but the video was spoiled with the choice of music!
The best music would be the sound of the pistons, and whistle.

4472 is my fav locomotive when I was six years old. My mom tell my the story of 4472 and I am intersted with 4472.

@maddave750 - Worry not! :D "Scottie" is due to return to the mainline this year! :)

This was a shocker of a video. The footage was mostly taken on the initial run from Sydney to Melbourne where it then featured in the Aus Steam display. This video was knocked together to be sold as a souvenier. Hence alot of slow motion shots and irrelevant narration (Bud Tingwell).

@maddave750 Hey i saw her in pieces as well. I was so gutted. But it was like the train expert said, it's the Mallard every one wants to see any ways, but i stll think it's nice to see them both side by side. Did you see Stephensons rocket locomotive, it's only a replica, the real one is in london so i've heard. :))



When i went to see Flying scotsman in York in November she was in pieces all over the workshop floor...
