That'd be 4472 'Flying Scotsman', as Zulu said.

It is a British steam locomotive, brought out to Australia for Austeam88 http://www.flickr.com/photos/29565670@N06/sets/72157607233468219/

The late Wal Stuchbery mortgaged his house to cover the costs of hiring it, in a foreign country, for a year.  I formed part of its support crew, only when it was being worked on in Eveleigh.
