It has now been a century since arguably the most famous steam locomotive in history, No 1472 Flying Scotsman, left the Doncaster Works where it was made. It was the third of a class of steam locomotives that would eventually number 79 engines, and did not originally even carry a name. The A1 4-6-2 though, was the biggest express steam engine ever to have been seen in Britain at the time. It was chosen to be displayed at a major exhibition at Wembley in 1924, and for this it was given the name Flying Scotsman. This book tells the story of the legend that is Flying Scotsman - the ultimate in British express steam design elegance.
