In Britain we are more used to tourists being expected to support service-trains whose functional appearance makes them seem unassuming compared with the scenery that they explore, with catering if any on hand from nothing better than a trolley. Some dedicated operators provide notable exceptions, but the top-of-the-range Royal Scotsman is beyond the price range of all but a few visitors to these shores.
