RAIL enthusiasts have got quite steamed up this week following the arrival of Flying Scotsman.

But the appeal of the world's most famous steam locomotive extends well beyond your ardent train spotter.

Even those with little or no interest in railway stock have, in most cases, heard of Flying Scotsman.

That familiarity has been evidenced by the thousands of people who have converged on the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway since last Friday.

It's quite a coup for the five-mile line to get the loco and a feather in the cap for the K&WVR and the town.

The visit will create lasting memories for many.
