The bar's open in the restaurant car but before we stampede to that section of the train, you need to know more about the Duchess of Sutherland - nooo JRT - she's not related to Donald in any way shape or form. If she is good enough for Royalty....
This trip will see no expense spared but the organizers thought we might cut back a little by detailing you and C51 to drive her to Kings Cross.

You have all of 5 minutes to familiarize yourselves with the cab controls shown herewith and just as soon as we have cleaned the bird crap from the boiler casing, we will be on our merry way.
Just be gentle with her and caress those knobs with loving care as you ease her into position and, after a good stoking up, she will respond to your every touch. Make sure you have plenty of thrust available for your pistons just before entering the tunnel.
