    I have added this photo of 4472
    Flying Scotsman at Filey Holiday camp triangle 6th April 1968 while hauling the 'The Scarborough Flyer,
    i take it the photo was taken after 4472 arrived at Scarborough and was turned at Filey
    Wonder why they needed a guards van? for all the reversing?

    IIRC the brakevan was there whilst running in reverse with the second tender as the driver's view wasn't that good.
