With an explosive display of exhaust, 4472 'Flying Scotsman' gets the outward leg of The North Yorkshireman railtour underway after its stop at Wennington. The departure was a slow and rather careful one with a number of dramatic and violent wheel slips. The slight backlighting from the sun and the cloudy sky has really emphasised the towering display from Scotsman. Notice to the left the land where the former loop and sidings were located that were installed during World War Two. This picture is courtesy of Mr. Graham Vincent.
