The Flying Scotsman passing under a bridge at speed, near Selby, North Yorkshire, 1968
The Flying Scotsman passing under a bridge at speed, near Selby, North Yorkshire, 1968. The Flying Scotsman, seen passing under a bridge on the A19 between Selby and York, is a steam locomotive designed by Sir Nigel Gresley and built in Doncaster in 1923. It was famous for hauling the first non-stop train between London and Edinburgh in 1928. The photograph was taken five years after the locomotive was withdrawn from service by British Railways and sold for preservation. By this time the Flying Scotsman was the last remaining loco of its class. Seventy similar locos were scrapped, many being sent to the yards of Barry Island in Wales where they stood for a number of years. The Flying Scotsman went on tour of the United States and returned to the UK in 1973. By 1995, the locomotive had been dismantled and lay in pieces at the Southall depot in West London. The high cost of restoration meant that a buyer had to be sought and businessman Tony Marchington bought it for a cost of £ 2.5m. The engine was rebuilt and it made its first run in October of 1999 to Edinburgh
