OFFICIAL PRODUCT OF LONDON 2012
Flying Scotsman is one of the most famous locomotives in the world. Designed by Sir Nigel Gresley and built by London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) at Doncaster works in 1923, this locomotive holds a host of records, including the first locomotive to complete a non-stop London to Edinburgh run.
Flying Scotsman locomotive 4472 was the first steam engine to achieve 100 mph. In 1963 Flying Scotsman was retired from the mainline and started life wit numerous private owners. It was later bought by the National Railway Museum in 2004 for restoration in York, so that the nation will be able to see Flying Scotsman in all its former glory.
