Is that a picture of a stationary train with the smoke painted in afterwards?

I know shutter speeds were not up to much in the 1920's, but you would thing they’d have found a better artist.

But can it terrorize the people of skyrim like Thomas can?

One of my favorite locomotives of all time. Glad to see it back out where it belongs.

the flying Scotsman is an amazing engine. truly a sight to behold. Sir Nigel Gresley knew his shit when he designed those A1 Peppercorns, amazing engines.

Although personally, I like the story of mallard's 130+mph run more.

Interesting choice of livery. Although it looks like they’ll be painting it green again after they finish testing it.
