superb to have this one back, well done thr nrm & its volenteers and all who have donated to make this possible, if im not mistaken im sure theres a railtour involving this from london to edinburgh at the end of the year sometime, thanks for vid, very good news
ОтветитьThe volunteers and others have done an extraordinary job in restoring the 'Flying Scotsman' I think it is scheduled to run two shuttle services in September between York and Shildon over a weekend and operate on a heritage railway (East Lancs?). It will be great seeing her in action again on longer rail tours. Thanks for your comment.
ОтветитьSome fine clips there Allan. Great to see visitors of all ages enjoying the scene. Cheers, Jeff.
Ответить@bobnweaver - Many thanks Jeff. It demonstrates the popularity of the 'Flying Scotsman'
ОтветитьWell done vid Allan, good coverage despite the crowds and like the close-ups. Did FS carry the number 502 at some time? Obviously it must have but do you know the story? Thanks for a preview of this fine loco and I can hardly wait to hear her in action again. Ken
Ответить@kenbrowne1947 - Thanks Ken. Yes the crowd was large so had to make do. A fantastic sight and looking good in wartime black. Apparently it carried number 502 in 1946 or so I beleive. Not sure why. Also has carried numbers 1472, 103, 60103 and 4472. It will be great to see it hammering along the ECML soon. Cheers, Allan.
ОтветитьTa for the info Allan. Just viewed your photos and it looks almost like a new engine in the close up shots you took! What a marvellous job the NRM have done in the restoration. Thanks for that. Ken
Ответить@MonochromeLoco - Thanks for your comment. I am glad this brought back some memories for you. The number of people at the museum was testimony to the popularity of the 'Flying Scotsman'. I hope you can make another visit one day.
Ответитьlove the video mate.. :D nice to have 60103 (4472) back after 5 years
Ответить@mitchy754 - Thanks Mitchy!.......it will soon be thundering along the ECML doing what it does best.
ОтветитьHi Allan, in bits again Dave
ОтветитьYep hopefully it can be assembled again and run on the mainline.
