    Everyone has to get a selfie. Why didn't you go for a ride. I read what you wrote about the train. So what is special about it? It never comes through? 🙄

      I'm not sure how much it costs to travel on the Flying Scotsman but I bet it isn't cheap 🚂en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNER_Class_A3_4472_Flying_Scotsman

      I think it tours the country. It is using the mainline railway which is very busy with passenger & freight trains. That's why there is a diesel pusher engine at the back so it can offer assistance if the Flying Scotsman breaks down. It may also provide electricity to the carriages as they would have used oil lamps back in the 1920s @@JohnSmith-uy7sv

      @@MikeFairman Yes, I read what you sent me. They tour all over the world or usa and australia. That is amazing and the huge expense to put tracks across all the oceans to get it there. How do the ships go around train tracks? and yes standard gauge. Narrow is easy to spot. Thanks. That was interesting.
