I'd like to see a bit more discussion of the Scottish Area of the LNER - an area I know little about. Where are all you Scots LNER fans?
There must be loads of interesting subjects to talk about!

I don't know much, but I did find a fascinating history of the GNSR at a local used bookstore: "A History of the Great North of Scotland Railway" by Sir Malcolm Barclay-Harvey. I guess there must have been a fan, here in North Texas!
One of the smaller constituents, the GNSR was financially strapped for much of its life; had a peculiar obsession with 4-4-0s; and operated Royal Trains for Balmoral (via various stations).
