I hope someone maybe able to help.

On 7th June 1986 (a Saturday) my friends and I went down to Salisbury to see 4472 Flying Scotsman. On the rear was 47574.

There isn't anything on your site related to this date and train.
All I know was the locos and the train was going Waterloo to Sherbourne.

Any idea on other info ?
Or where I can get other info from?
I've looked at Six Bells Junction but there isn't anything on there for it.

Also What stock was used from Waterloo to Andover and then on to Salisbury for the BR trip ?

Thanks in advance,

possibly a second typo restricting your search: should be Sherborne not Sherbourne

Curious that it was advertised to Sherborne, when presumably the train ran on to Yeovil Junction to be watered and loco turned and run around?

Tour of Sherborne Abbey while the loco went to do loco-y things?
