Flying Scotsman, one of the world's most famous locomotives, has returned to the West Coast mainline......As a Kid I use to go to all the main stations to collect Train numbers, the Scotsman was one of them

Railway enthusiasts welcomed its return following a £4.2m restoration project, which lasted 10 years.

Even if I´m not in locomotives - it is nice to see men value and rescue things what were and most of the time are still iconic. Would wish there were more resue of iconic historic things in the world.

Wow, what a calm/sure hand the painter has! And nice tool to hold the distance and lay the weight of the hand on it.

What´s funny on that? Looks like all the trains and busses what come currently to Germany looks like that. Why should it be better in Britain?
