The Flying Scotsman is an overhyped piece of junk. For the cost the NRM spent acquiring and restoring it, you could have built two brand new Tornados ! You should keep your eyes pealed on July 9th instead, when Bulleid Merchant Navy Class, 35018 British India Line is running on a rail tour to commemorate the end of steam on the Southern Region in July 1967. It runs from Waterloo to Yeovil Junction, where the loco will be turned and serviced whilst a diesel takes the train on to Weymouth. 35018 will follow 'light engine' before returning the train to Waterloo via Bournemouth and Southampton.
Now that is "Proper Engine" running on the very lines it was built for, and the sight will probably leave Big Al drooling with nostalgia !
