Flying scotsman

🇬🇧 The Return of the Flying Scotsman (steam locomotive built in 1923 at Doncaster Works, England, UK) 🚂 🎞Jun-02-2021

As early as 1925 the London & North Eastern Railway were cannily marketing both the locomotive Flying Scotsman (4472) and the named train service - it certainly probably was a contender for the confident assumption that it was the most famous train in the world. The cover artwork is very potent - worked up by Harry Gawthorn, a well-known commercial artist who also did many posters for the company.

The Flying Scotsman has been pictured in Cumbria as part of its latest journey in its centenary year.

After 10 years of painstaking restoration, the world's most famous steam engine is back in business.

Sharp edges and clanging steel, scalding pipes and oily underfoot, steam curling gently from a valve, an ear-piercing shriek, and the firebox;

While the NRM's multi million pound restoration of Flying Scotsman continues here is a shot taken at the Severn Valley gala of 1990 to stop the LNER buffs getting cold turkey.
