For two consecutive weekends, lucky ticket-holders have been transported behind the engine along the MNR.

And it will run for one final day between Dereham and Brick Kiln Junction on Saturday (October 16).

Tickets for the running days have long been sold out, but rail enthusiasts have also flocked to static display days at Dereham station.

Flying Scotsman, or LNER Class A3 4472 in full, was built in 1923 and used to pull express long-distance trains along the coast.

In November 1934, it became the first steam locomotive in the world to be recorded reaching 100mph.

Despite being retired from regular service 60 years ago, the Scotsman has enjoyed a fruitful second career as a touring loco.
