Now WildnorWester's model is used.įlying Scotsman is based on the LNER Gresley Classes A1 and A3, a class of locomotives built by the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) from 1922 to 1935. In Pride of the LNER, the default Auran model was used. Finally, in January 2016, he was restored and began touring the UK. However, for the majority of this only smart parts were visible. He was on display at the museum during his overhaul, which Thomas1Edward2Henr圓 saw in 2011. Originally planned to take one year, it took a decade (almost to the day). In 2006, Scotsman began a massive overhaul. Three years later, he was sold to the National Railway Museum in York. Fortunately, like in San Francisco, he was bought again by Tony Marchington and restored to his former glory by 2000. However, once again his future did not look promising as he fell into decline and was taken apart. He was refitted with German style smoke deflectors. A decade later, he went to Australia and set many records whilst down there.

Fortunately, he was bought by William Alpine who shipped him back to the United Kingdom and was then overhauled at Derby Locomotive Works. Scotsman was left in San Francisco and his future was unknown. This went well until in 1972, whilst in San Francisco, Alan Pegler went bankrupt. In 1969, the Flying Scotsman began a big tour of the United States and Canada. He also saved "The Limited" express after 7101 ( Bear) suffered an injector failure and was salvaged by Henry, who had also salvaged D199 ( Ted). Henry got jealous of him having multiple tenders but soon got his comeuppance from Duck. He was a major attraction and he got on well with most of the engines. Scotsman visited Sodor in 1967 as a treat for Gordon who was depressed about the decline of steam. In 1963, he was withdrawn from service but was preserved by Alan Pegler. City of Truro from the GWR had claimed to have reached this record 30 years prior, but it is disputed. He was the first locomotive to officially reach 100 mph without any dispute in 1934. He pulled a train named after him that ran from London to Edinburgh. He was built in 1923 at Doncaster works, alongside Gordon. The Flying Scotsman was designed by none other then Sir Nigel Gresley.
