Flying Scotsman Double Header Towards Whiteball , 4th October 2018

[@elainelethborg2550]

It must be very gratifying for people to see Scott in so many different locations on these rail tours rather than just having him running back & forth between the capitals as in the past. Enjoy everyone!!!!

Nicely done David. Regards Dave.

Thank you Dave , I would have gone above the tunnel but the farmer had put a lot of bulls in the field , they were giving that look daring me to go in and make their day ! David

[@KINGANDCASTLE]

Nice one

[@gcmet1063]

[@AndreiTupolev]

They look very nice together.

[@gcmet1063]

Yes they look great , sounded like an odd couple but really worked well . David

[@30453trains]

Great pictures, and good to see so many people out. 👍🏻

[@gcmet1063]

Thank you , whenever I film in this field I'm normally the only person there , just shows the attraction of Flying Scotsman .

Super video of the steam duo David. Quite a crowd gathered to see them pass too. Regards. Allan.

[@gcmet1063]

Thanks Allan , the local BBC TV gave out the times on the morning news . I'm usually the only person here . Regards David

Great panned clip of "Scotsman" and the Black 5 Dave, she sounds great! Thanks for posting. Ken

[@gcmet1063]

Thanks Ken , the local BBC news gave Scotsmans visit a lot of publicity . David

[@mickgriffin3335]

Happy to see they ditched the 47 prior to this, lovely to see them today.

[@gcmet1063]

Thanks for watching , the 47 went through before Scotsman light engine .

[@mickgriffin3335]

Hi David , great smooth panning shot, Got slides of FS years ago in Devon , not many followers then
What is the attraction ? , must be the blinker's ,Still nice to see steam. Dave

[@gcmet1063]

Thanks Dave , the local BBC TV gave Scotsman a big send up on the morning news and also gave the times . Probably be the same on Monday when it comes back . David

[@MrKnowwun]

Damn trees, cut em down I say

[@gcmet1063]

I'm with you on that . I nearly didn't get anything as the farmer started ploughing the field he was getting closer and closer , as luck would have it he stopped to watch Scotsman with us .

[@davidbailey2884]

Why does it say Cathedrals Express on the front and not the Flying Scotsman?

[@gcmet1063]

The name Flying Scotsman is above the centre wheel on the side of the loco , the name Cathedrals Express on the front is the name of the train it was hauling .

[@kylemillett87]

May be a daft question...but why do they have a double header and what was it? I saw this a little earlier up the line between Nynehead and the back of Relyon

[@gcmet1063]

Some of the Devon hills could have been a challenge for Flying Scotsman on its own and the train would have been only eight or nine coaches instead of the thirteen which were all fully booked . The other loco was a LMS class 5 44871 . David
