"They haven't spent four million quid restoring it for no one to spot it. Enjoy!"
I remember seeing it as a kid on a line behind my aunts house in Darwen. Loved it then too  |

'Is it wrong?' Erm, yes, but each to their own. I presume it will have just recently passed by now, and I hope it has turned out as positive an experience as you were hoping for. |

I won't be making a habit of train spotting! Stood for over 2 hours as it was late, So froze my nuts off, had to have a go at a cheeky fucker who pushed to the front 5 min before the train came. Everyone else said nothing and then said well done after! The machine was great but it was over in a flash. |

These giants of the old world will never die. I was born in a house which the back faced the main Kings Cross Edinburgh Line and I can remember all the magnificent Locomotives then, Flying Scotsman, Merlin (Speed Record), Silver Link yes they don't have the quality nowadays do they ? |
