Alan Pegler bought the Flying Scotsman engine in 1963, for £ 3, 000, to save it from the scrap yard. He d originally sat in it as a boy, aged 4, and fallen in love with it. Mr Pegler said, " I bought the locomotive because I was determined that she should still be around for future generations to see. You can t get the best from engines by putting them in museums as if they were stuffed. Part of their thrill is the sound they make and the smell of the smoke and steam"
