Wow, what a pretty train! And so clean!!! Not what I expected! Thank you for sharing!
The New York Central’s Empire State Express behind locomotive 999 notwithstanding.
What a trip! Beautiful train!
That’s interesting about the 999 but it seems the Flying Scotsman was authenticated first. Would have made for an exciting race.
Good to see her oot and aboot.
Well, power-wise, the 4472 has the edge: larger boiler and firebox, three cylinders versus two, greater tractive effort due to the additional driving axle, superheating, et al.
Thanks very much, Sparky!
