Hi Tom, I have a lot of n-scale trains - among locomotives (steam and diesel) and wagons... I must take pictures a share them sometimes - I am a train-lover!
Born in a small town just outside Birmingham in England, and 5 minutes away from the railway line which the "Flying Scotsman" utilised on its not stop route to Edinburgh I share your love of the steam era. The sheer size of the engine was mesmerising and I can understand how people still today have such fond memories of those days.
A sad reality though that their day has unfortunately passed.
My mother's father got her a ride on the footplate of the Flying Scotsman blasting along at full speed across Culloden Moor. She was three years old at the time... :-o
