roddy Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 (edited) Flying Scotsman heading Mayflower over the Slochd Summit on 10 May 2019. Highest rail point in the UK. Look at the steam from full power! I have been over there a good few times as a kid behind double headed steam. I can hear the roar still! Edited May 12, 2019 by roddy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 That's the type of scene I'd love to recreate. I've almost got the mountain. Scenes like that must be how many people fall in love with steam railways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 Yes Mick, especially if you can add the sound and the smell. I can remember the London Terminii as a small boy, full of huge warm simmering beasts. The smell and the grime and the bursts of stem and so on are still with me. Guards whistles, and then that Puff puff puff as they got under way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussietmrail Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Hi Roddy, was that before they painted the Flying Scotsman black, I was saddened to see the 4472 go and painted black. Tony from cold down under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
