One of the most famous locomotives in the world, the Flying Scotsman, has been off the tracks for the last decade.

The lengthy and expensive overhaul is nearing completion, and the engine is finally expected to return to the main line later this year.

The BBC's Tom Ingall has been for an exclusive visit to the workshop to see how the work is progressing.

I used to watch this train go by around 4pm every day whilst playing, and know it was time to come off the fields and go home for tea.
