Hi I from India. My dad, who had spent a few years in England in the 1950s told me about the Flying Scotsman. Once while returning from an office trip he got me a clock work model of the train. That was 55 years ago, I still have that train set. My dad passed away in 2009.

Maybe she has some friend or family member who was injured or killed in a boiler explosion or other steam "incident". Or maybe she's just a hell of a lot smarter and/or has better reflexes than you do. Or maybe she was there at the time responding while you sit here on your ass watching a video.

Old Scotty was not always such a picture of pride. I well remember her , sitting i the sidings at Twicke ham Station, a semi-derelict mess, for many months. Then someone with more money than sense bought her as a restoration project. After canging hands, several times, she was aquired by a multi-millionaire construction magnate , of the McAlpine family. Several kings ransoms, and a lot of hard labour, later, she emerged , resplendant, as the engineering masterpiece she is today. Lonh live The Flying Scotsman
