Alan Pegler OBE -- A Farewell Tribute - Railfilms

In 2012 the world of railway preservation said farewell to one of its most famous fathers.
Alan Pegler was known throughout the world for his contributions to the preservation movement, being famously involved with two of its greatest achievements: the saving of the complete Ffestiniog Railway, and of probably the world's most famous steam locomotive, Flying Scotsman. A man of some personal modesty, Alan's adventures with steam started young when in 1928, aged just 8, his father took him to see the Flying Scotsman on its first non stop run from London to Edinburgh. From that moment on he was "hooked" on steam. More details at - www.telerail.co...
