Hi,
What was the correct order /sequence of the coach boards attatched to the roofs of the Flying Scotchman,K/X Edinburgh.1923/48.
Roof Boards
Moderators: 52D, Tom F, Rlangham, Atlantic 3279, Blink Bonny, Saint Johnstoun, richard
Re: Roof Boards
The Boards on the Flying Scotsman named the express but had a small board underneath which gave the eventual destination of the vehicle concerned. So we have 'THE FLYING SCOTSMAN' plus 'KINGS + to EDINBURGH' plus the smaller names
Re: Roof Boards
Many thanks.Fitting now in progress.
Re: Roof Boards
On re-reading my post I may have been a bit ambiguous. The train carried large FS headboards in the central slot, interspersed with London & Edinburgh in the same place on alternate coaches. i.e. It did not say FS on all vehicles. The smaller destination boards marked the parts goign on to Glasgow and Aberdeen.

Thanks for the correction.
