Alan Pegler RIP

Do we have any steam engine buffs? - well, I know Chris is one.

Sad news is that Alan Pegler has joined all the scrapped steam locos in the sky. For the uninitiated, Pegler was something of a pioneer in steam preservation and was the original purchaser of "Flying Scotsman" from British Rail back in 1963.
 
Sad to hear - yet another link with the past gone.

He was bankrupted by the Flying Scotsman - but a larger than life character who maintained a passion for steam railways
