The first sight of the Flying Scotsman as it emerges from the Sharpthorne Tunnel in a cloud of white smoke. The engine could be heard working hard on the incline through the tunnel with occasional bursts of noise associated with the wheels spinning. The famous engine was visiting the Bluebell Railway for the first time over the Easter period in April 2017.
