Hey, that's not you! That's Gordon, and Clarabell, and Annie. What did you guys do to Thomas?!?!

Seriously, I thought your handle was a play on the "Flying Dutchman" (there's a guy on RCG who goes by "Crashing Dutchman" which makes sense in a different sort of way).

I didn't realize until this thread that the Flying Scotsman was a train. Here are some that I am familiar with:

City of New Orleans
Orange Blossom Special
Old 97
Number 9

As a young lad I was dragged to whatever steam display was on.. and dad finally joined us all to a steam preservation society in Northern South Australia.
The Beyer Garrett lived some 100miles away.
A real beasty !
4-8-4 and 4-8-4 all on the one loco.
SAR used these 2up to tow the coal trains from LeighCreek to the PtAugusta power station.. longest train on record 2900metres(1.82miles long )

These are still in service !
And I admit I tracked one down in Africa just to go for a ride long after my father passed....
