Flying Scotsman

The West Somerset Railway is hosting The Flying Scotsman and it will be running on the line from 5th September to 12th September inclusive, except for the 8th.

The photo above was taken at Crowcombe Heathfield in the early evening of the 30th August when it was on a gauging run from Bishops Lydeard to Minehead and back. The run was to ensure there would be no problems going through the stations - we've seen this before with other locos.
