EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the iconic 4472 Flying Scotsman, an LNER Class A3 locomotive, speeding along the main line circa 1967. The sleek and powerful 4-6-2 Pacific steam locomotive was built in 1923 at Doncaster Works to a design by Nigel Gresley for the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER). Known for its long-distance express services on the East Coast Main Line, this magnificent train was a symbol of luxury and speed during its time.
The Flying Scotsman was a favorite among passengers traveling between London and Edinburgh, earning its name from the prestigious train service it operated on. Its distinctive green livery and streamlined design made it stand out on the tracks, attracting admirers wherever it went.
In this image, we see the Flying Scotsman in all its glory as it races through the countryside with effortless grace. The sheer power of this historic locomotive is evident as it cuts through the air like a flying machine of steel and steam. This print is not just a snapshot of transportation history but also a testament to human ingenuity and engineering excellence that continues to inspire awe decades later.
