Merlin Attempts Redemption vs Flying Scotsman

This is a rematch. Merlin was rather a sore loser when Flying Scotsman won an impromptu race during last year's National Steam-up Symposium. Merlin #4486 is an A4 Pacific (4-6-2) steam locomotive. Flying Scotsman #4472 is an A3. One would think Merlin should win. He's a newer model with newer technology. Only one way to find out. Watch the race! Pete Comley is Merlin's engineer. Pete told me he bashed Merlin from an Aster A3. Flying Scotsman is a stock Aster A3. This race happened at the 2024 National Steam-up Symposium in Lodi, California, an event hosted by Steam Events, LLC (https://www.steam-events.org/).
