Gentle giant. The mighty Flying Scotsman puffs softly along the glistening permanent way between Birmingham and Didcot - and crowds gather as close as possible to their iron hero to record the moments of steam washed magic. All along the route, stations, fields, yards and sidings were packed with enthusiasts with cameras and tape recorders seeking to gather for themselves and their children some record of yesterdays transport
