Hi Everyone,
Given it’s a very special year in terms of one of the most iconic locomotives of all time, and without trying to show any bias (not yet at least), thought it might be a good opportunity to give an open invite thread, to all parties, to add there story / memories or modelling input, on a complete blank canvas approach, so here goes -

Hi 34C / Alan,
34C - That’s a very evocative memory for sure - bet you can still almost smell it all over again !
Alan - Great video clip too. The power that’s at those finger tips too !
Stamps are a nice collection too, can recognise a few settings / locations, but not that many - feels like a quiz challenge 😉 ?
The £2 coin is very nice too, not come across / seen any in circulation so far - has anyone else ?
There are obviously a lot of Flying Scotsman models either released or being released this year, have noted than Jim / PappaB, is getting one, has anyone else so far; and if so any first impressions / thoughts - as am very tempted for sure ...... to sit along side this one;

Hi Norm,
I have this Hornby TT Sound version
![Train Wheel Vehicle Rolling stock Window]()
It has the occasional run out on my layout, but is of course OO scale, where my layout and all other locos and rolling stock are HO
I am eagerly awaiting this model, which I have on reserve order, but stocks have sold out, so not sure when (or if) I will get

But in anticipation, I have already sauced some second hand Lima HO scale LMS coaches for her to haul around.
Regards
Alan

Hi Alan,
Thanks for the reply, that’s a very nice Flying Scotsman Model, even “if OO guage” as you say.
Am quite tempted / taken by this version, which is also a limited number / availability and Pre - Order as well -
