'Flying Scotsman' steam engine roars down rails once more

The Flying Scotsman is back on the rails in the U.K., more than a decade after the famous 1923-built locomotive was saved from the scrap heap. It was initially a glamourous trip, with a hair salon, restaurants and cocktail bar onboard.

    Still think it's a weird name for an English-built train.

    According to Batsy, it should have been called, "England is the greatest nation in the whole world, always has been, always will be and make the best and greatest of everything" train.

    I love the sound of a steam whistle. One of my grandparents neighbours had a Steam powered boat... a thing of beauty. Maybe someday I will be able to check out a steam powered train or car
