Hi I from India. My dad, who had spent a few years in England in the 1950s told me about the Flying Scotsman. Once while returning from an office trip he got me a clock work model of the train. That was 55 years ago, I still have that train set. My dad passed away in 2009.

Or maybe she's just a hell of a lot smarter and/or has better reflexes than you do. Or maybe she was there at the time responding while you sit here on your ass watching a video.

There is an elegance to the aesthetics of a steam locomotive that modern trains just don't have.

York... my home city, and my uncle was a chef on that train, back when it was in regular service. That is not inside the main part of the station, which is also a beautiful historic building, built on a curve.

So majestic

To this day, locomotives will always amaze me. There pulling power and beutiful looks out shine modern day trains 🕊

Old Scotty was not always such a picture of pride. I well remember her , sitting i the sidings at Twicke ham Station, a semi-derelict mess, for many months. Then someone with more money than sense bought her as a restoration project. After canging hands, several times, she was aquired by a multi-millionaire construction magnate , of the McAlpine family. Several kings ransoms, and a lot of hard labour, later, she emerged , resplendant, as the engineering masterpiece she is today. Lonh live The Flying Scotsman

It's to blow out water in the cylinders that has condensed from the steam. Water doesn't compress, so if they didn't do this it could blow open the cylinder or bend the piston rod.
