Flying Scotsman
From David Hughes:
The World Famous A3 Pacific 60103 Flying Scotsman enjoys an easier life these days hauling a number of days out charter trains around the country. The locomotive was 97 years old in February this year and is still going strong after its major overhaul. These pictures were mainly taken on various charters that ran over the scenic Settle & Carlisle line in the summer months of 2016-17.
