Yes next year 1 of my life dreams is going to come true. 
I'll be taking a long trip through the country side on nun other than the flying Scotsman. I so can't wate.
If you can spare 3 minutes then do watch this YouTube link.

Even if you don't like trains this might change your mind.
Wat life dreams of yours have come true. ? |

I was busy watching the clip. It looks great. I can just about remember travelling on steam trains as a small kid. There's nothing quite like the smell.
Enjoy your trip.
I've had several life dreams come true, one was having children another was retiring to the seaside. |

The seaside is definitely a very good place to live at. |

"I've had many dreams come true thankfully.
Until las August, when I caught the Steam bug off someone, I'd not realised that travelling by Flying Scotsman was on of mine too "
That steam bug is very contagious...  |

Good to see someone is getting some enjoyment out of the Flying Moneypit, after the obscene amounts spent on it while other elements of the National Collection are left to rot. Don't understand the obsession with that one specific kettle. |

"I quite enjoy riding trains. Not a train nerd or anything, couldn't tell you names or numbers, I just find the track noise and sceneary exciting.
I've always wanted to ride the Orient express. "
The orient express is also on my to-do list |

"Iconic isn't it, Evening Star used to occasionally run past my house when I was a kid, Pullman's in tow, and what a sight that was
I love the look of the Pullmans "
I loved the look of Evening Star a little more to be honest, sadly now a static exhibition even though it was the last steam train commissioned by BR and was assigned as a preservation locomotive at the time of building, much younger than the Scotsman but not dissimilar |

I'm new to the 'steam' thing and looking forward to being able to go the the York railway museum too |

Oh hope you enjoy that, I went when I was at school and York is a lovely city as well and if you have time I'd consider a trip to Durham, no finer city to arrive at by train. |

"I live close to the Romney Hythe and dymchurch railway ..I love seeing the small engines pulling their trains along  "
That's my favorite and closest little railway.
With Winston Churchill being my favorite RH&DR engine. |

"Ugh! So jealous! My Pap was a steam train driver so love trains and steam engines in general... And the smell
You can't beet the smell and sounds of a steam engine. "
You really can't... I have a feeling the local steam rally probably won't happen this year, unfortunately... It's always one of my favourite days of the year, with all the sights, sounds and smells... Love it! |

Typhoon is really good to.
I'd say my 2nd favorite is black prince but unfortunately has been down for a overhaul for a very long time.
In fact all the engines are fantastic expect number,s 12 and 14...
Thay are both ok to but compared to the rest of the fleet it's no contest. |
