The LNER Class A3 Pacific locomotive No. 4472 'Flying Scotsman' is
one of the world's most iconic steam engines. It was built in 1923
for the London and North Eastern Railway at Doncaster Works to a
design by Nigel Gresley. Taking its name from the London to
Edinburgh non-stop service on which it was employed, 'Flying
Scotsman' worked many long-distance express trains in a career in
which it covered more than 2,000,000 miles (3,200,000 km). This
fascinating pocket-book tells the story of this distinguished
locomotive through authentic period literature including LNER and
BR service manuals, giving an insight into her construction and
operation from the height of her fame in the 1930s through to the
end of her BR service in 1963.
