The crew of The Flying Scotsman re-coaling the engine following her journey from Tyseley depot to Didcot 15th June 1974
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

In this photo print, we are transported back to the enchanting era of steam locomotives. The crew of The Flying Scotsman can be seen diligently re-coaling the engine after its remarkable journey from Tyseley depot to Didcot on a sunny day in June 1974. This image captures the essence of a bygone era when these magnificent machines were at their peak. The mighty Flying Scotsman gracefully glides along the glistening tracks between Birmingham and Didcot, emanating soft puffs of steam that add an air of magic to the scene. As if drawn by an invisible force, crowds gather as close as possible to their iron hero, eager to document every moment of this awe-inspiring spectacle. Throughout the entire route, stations, fields, yards, and sidings overflow with passionate enthusiasts armed with cameras and tape recorders. Their mission is simple: capture these fleeting moments for themselves and future generations – a tangible connection to transport's yesteryears. This photograph encapsulates not only the sheer power and beauty of The Flying Scotsman but also pays homage to those who dedicatedly worked behind-the-scenes. Men clad in railway attire shovel coal into the furnace with unwavering determination - a testament to their dedication and expertise. Nigel Iskander's lens has frozen this extraordinary moment in time; it serves as a gentle reminder that even giants need care and attention. As we gaze upon this image today, it evokes nostalgia for an age where steam engines ruled supreme
