Always loved the steam locomotives… brings back my childhood memories in India in 70’s and 80’s where me and my brother holding my father’s hand on each side watching these gentle giants roar at the station . Thanks to the British for their efforts in establishing the railways in my home country.

Just wonderful look how lovely and shiney the engine Is,the best of all together with the Golden Arrow 🚂🚂👍👍😉

I love it ❤

Fabulous

Glorious sight and sound ,she looks beautiful and ALIVE ,did I see Michael Portello in a green jacket in one coach.?

This train is very good 😊 😊😊😊😊😊😊

I can only imagine 60103 was being pushed greatly as there was no visible or audible effort when it finally got underway. The helicopter also drowned out any possible steam audio as the train receded. It looked as though the crew just let the brake off and (metaphorically) sat back. Captures the crowds well though.

The engineers don't wave the trains anymore, not like they did back in 1954.

I can imagine what Gordon would say about that whistle!

👍

That's beautiful! I'm curious, was this recorded on the first run after its overhaul?

What is that blue plate on the locomotive’s front?

Poundland whistle sounding well

11 carriages

When will some kind hearted person take that penny whistle off and put a proper one on.

times of locomotives

Wonderful loco, but what is wrong with her whistle????

Why all the cops?

03:14 Michael Portillo?

I hope the woke brigade don’t see this and start campaigning for it to be renamed The Flying Scotsperson?

Wish they hadn't put that stupid big blue badge off the front.
