I managed to see it in the morning, it was... magnificent. And on the other side of it was an Azuma.
That was just symbolic.
Superb video of Flying Scotsman in action. :)
Saw it as it passed Ashchurch last month!
I just saw that Doncaster 1923 plate on Scott. It's got the number 1564 on it. Does anyone know why?
