Im gonna get killed for this post but... Flying Scotsman is overrated.
While i am happy he got presereved and made mainline steam railtours a thing. I feel he is a bit to over hyped, like people shouldent risk their lives for a video/picture of an LNER A1/A3 (i am aware its the only preserved one, beside gordon ofc) that was built in 1923, while there are way more interesting locomotives. Side note: id love Flying Scotsman more if he was painted in any other livery and had those smoke deflectors removed.
