It was not long before we caught up with the Flying Scotsman
again. We were becoming FS groupies. Only a few months after her rescue from
America, including the stop-over at Edge Hill sheds and a period of
rehabilitation in Derby works, she was given a work-out on the Paignton to
Kingswear line.
The two private railways in South Devon seem to have changed
their names so much, I can never remember quite what to call them. Anyway, on
the day that we visited Torbay during the first week in August 1973, FS was
also seen double-heading out of Paignton with Manor Class No.
7827 Lydham Manor. I even took some nice, clear photographs for a change.
