Evening all. This afternoon at work we were treated to the sight of the world's most famous steam locomotive (love it or hate it) No60103 "Flying Scotsman". The engine was hauling her support coach from Castleton to London to work some jobs in the south over the coming weeks for West Coast...
With a gang of us gathered on the lawn outside work to see her, the 1923-built pacific arrived quite typically just as the sun went behind the clouds. Feathering lightly at the valves, the engine coasted casually by before disappearing in the direction of the capital. I've never really been a fan of Eastern engines (except the GNR stuff) but I can definitely appreciate what the A3s and A4s were and in particular "Flying Scotsman". Love it or hate it, it continues to capture the hearts and imaginations of the masses and can only do good for this hobby in my opinion. It never hurts to have positive support. Thank you all for reading once again. Another good spot. Please note that the above image was taken from land outside of the NR boundary fence.
