Description
*one rainy morning at Vicarstown, Flying Scotsman is idling near the shed, waiting for his passenger train to be shunted into place; however, it's a gloomy day for him*Flying Scotsman: *sighs* Today... was a very grim day... *looks up to the sky* The day I lost you... Pretty Polly... my beloved sister...
Why...? You had so much potential to be preserved like I was... even if Pegler hadn't bought you, somebody would have... I miss you very much, Polly... every day, I suffer survivor's guilt... I wish you could have met Katrina... we had a rocky reunion, but now... we're the best of siblings... 
Polly, I miss you... and I hope you can hear me... Gresley would be proud...

The toughest thing one can do one someone we love dies is to live on in their memory.
Guess Scotsman knows that all too well.

So sad. Scott shouldnβt have been the only one preserved.Β
Fortunately, in my headcannon, Pretty Polly was saved at the last minute by the Hatt Steam Trust and moved to Sodor as a static display at Maron station.Β

Then, in 2000, sheβs moved to Knapford and a fundraiser is launched to restore her to steam. And once Sir Topham Hatt strikes a deal with the National Railway Museum to share ownership of the Flying Scotsman, Pollyβs fundraising skyrockets.Β

Aww that is a shame.
I have 'saved' two A1/3's in the form of 'Blink Bonny' and 'White Knight, in 00 Gauge form, as well as made them as digital versions for my own head canon of the WhippetWildRailways.

I like this shine. You seem to be getting a following to the new model of Scotsman like I am.

Pretty Polly really was a special engine.Β Β Shame that we lost her to scrap...
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm sure Scotty feels the same way...
Based on the edited pic of her, now I wish someone could make a Trainz model of her in her BR livery and her LNER livery
π: 0 β©: 1
I certainly think she deserves a Trainz model.
π: 0 β©: 1
Do you know Β anybody who could make it?
π: 0 β©: 1
Not personally, no. 
π: 0 β©: 1
That's okay. Maybe we can ask around until we find someone who can

I did a sprite of Polly in her LNER livery.
Β
Is the least I could do, curse you BR.

Thanks, but again, there's not much I can do.
