    Very few out after this, surely the highlight of the weekend. Great to see Scotsman back on the main line UNASSISTED. Seen passing Barrow on Soar. 60103 Barrow o S lr.jpg

    No I do not currently volunteer
    There's a deep irony here that the TOC that hauls a proper steam train - i.e. without any additional motive power unit - is the one that, sadly, seldom gets the opportunity to do so, except for Belmond. (I'm assuming that this is DBC on the footplate.)
