4472's Grand Tour of the North - June 1969

Main line steam ended in August 1968. Only one locomotive was allowed to run on the tracks of British Rail - Alan Pegler's 4472 "Flying Scotsman" - until, in late '69, it went to the USA - no more main line steam until the "Return to Steam" in October 1971. Have a look at this record of 4472's Grand Tour of the North - published today to Geoff's Rail Diaries
