2001

It is 1978 and one of Britain`s most famous steam engines was restored At barrow, I was at Barrow Island School when myself and the whole school went to see the world famous Flying Scotsman being lifted to a lorry for Carnforth. The 140 ton engine arrived in Barrow in December 1977 and left five months later it was given a major overhaul in the boiler shop in the yard. A new boiler was fitted to the engine.
