Flying Scotsman came down our lovely Borders Line this morning so I went out to have a look at her. Whilst most folk get a drive past we managed to find the spot where the old girl got signal checked for 10-15 minutes and she stopped just 50 yards from where I was standing! ![Smile :) :)](https://www.satellites.co.uk/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png)
Signal checked waiting for the previous diesel service coming up the line to clear the single track section

An old diesel on the back - 47580 which provides the electrical power & heating on cold days![Dsc_0001.jpg Dsc_0001.jpg](https://www.satellites.co.uk/data/attachments/79/79256-ffea169dfd576d1feaf3f9ef3e7b7e51.jpg)
