FLYING SCOTSMAN CONQUERS CORNWALL

Celebrity ‘A3’ No. 60103 Flying Scotsman broke new ground in October, by entering Cornwall for the first time.

Double-heading with ‘Black Five’ No. 44871, the locomotive traversed the sea wall at Dawlish before crossing the River Tamar into Cornwall on October 4 at the head of ‘The Cathedrals Express’, on behalf of Steam Dreams Rail Co.

The Gresley ‘Pacific’ later hauled solo trips from Plymouth to Par and Penzance on October 6.
