The Flying Scotsman (1) (was this morning taken) on a test run, steaming down the East Lancashire railway tracks, bringing tears to the eyes of train enthusiasts. My hair on the back of my neck is standing on end at this moment. And I think the smell of coal oil and steam, if you could bottle that as a perfume I'd wear it. I really would. I love it. The Flying Scotsman (2) (was built) in Doncaster in 1923 and just over a decade later became the first train to break the 100mph barrier. Restoration began in 2006 and (3) (was carried) out by Manchester's Riley and Son. "It was ten years of our life. You know there's so much it's immense. It's the biggest overhaul that a locomotive had. We chopped the front end off, we got a new boiler. There's so much we had to do for it. After a series of test runs like this one, the Flying Scotsman (4) (will be painted) in the classic British Rail green just in time for its welcome home event in late February
