More than 60 per cent of the Flying Scotsman entry are VSCC members so once again don't understand your point.

The F S is cheap compared to similar international events and is superior to the majority of them.

This continual whinging about costs is nonsense as the event was oversubscribed within a month of entries opening and yes P Y is not everyone's cup of tea it is obvious that the thing works.

Pity is that it clashes with VSCC.
