This really is a wonderful collection of shots, well done. It’s a beautiful looking locomotive and it is definitely my favourite steam engine of all time. Would love to come over to the UK one day when it is running. Merry Christmas from Tasmania.
Scotsman is one stunning locomotive
That he is. I watched a clip of him in Victoria Australia in 1989. He had that same headboard on but it was set higher up in front of his chimney.
I just want to say a heartfelt thankyou to all the drivers firemen other crew members all the on board staff and the maintenance crews that work so hard to keep this ultra special locomotive on the rails.
And anyone else I have missed.
What video camera do you use
Even if it’s very smart looking its whistle sounds like your average 4-year-old playing the recorder.
You forgot 1472N ;-)
You are looking at 1472 N. That is Scotsman's original number. I think it lasted about a year before it was changed to 4472, he was named Flying Scotsman, and put on display at the Wembley exhibition. It was there that the story of his fame began.
@@elainelethborg2550 1472 was her allotted GN number. Anyway, 1472N was not on you list :-P
