I see this iconic engine has now been rebuilt and will soon be running again. Any old enough to have seen it running or travelled on it?

Its a fantastic piece of British Engineering, good to see it rolling again...didn't Pete Waterman have some ownership share of it in the past ?


The only other Flying Scotsman in the news at the moment is this one

My Dad was a fireman on the railway and swapped shift with someone to work on it for one trip in the 60s. He still talks about it, but he talks about trains A LOT! :-)
