Its really good to see The Scotsman refitted. I saw the Flying Scotsman at Snow Hill Station when it was retired. Around 1965 I think.

The Scotsman on the Severn Valley would be good. I bet you would have a job getting close to it though.

I am sure it will be worth the wait. I intend to get a model of it. it won't really suit my railway but as an historical piece it will be worth having.
