@chris Glad you enjoyed. I only travelled behind Scotsman once-on a trip from York to Scarborough and return. Good run, though. It would be nice to get a decent recreation of Didcot Railway Centre in the simulator. No shame in referencing the Railway Series-not only was Awdry a railway enthusiast committed to absolute technical accuracy in his stories, the books developed a sizeable adult fanbase during their original publication run.

Wow that was fun, albeit I arrived a minute late. I have ridden behind Flying Scotsman - at Didcot, not a long ride but at least I can say I have been in a train pulled by Flying Scotsman. Yes, I did ride behind Thomas the Tank engine as well, but fortunately I had my young grandsons with me so could say it was for them.!! Good fun though to drive it at speed - this was my first run with it but will go again to beat the Castle time. Kind Regards. Chris
