We see shots of the Flying Scotsman locomotive in the USA (supplied by COI). In Derby Chris Tarrant interviews a man responsible for the return of the loco from a tour to the USA and the difficult journey which included an Atlantic storm in which Flying Scotsman had to be welded to the deck of the ship. Also interview with Jim Ratcliffe from the Derby paint shop about the different skills required in painting steam locomotives to diesels.
