The Flying Scotsman : The Train, The Locomotive, The Legend (Shire Library)

Bob Gwynne 978 0 7478 07704 £5.99 Paperback, 56 pages, Illustrations (chiefly col.), 210 x 149 mm

The Flying Scotsman is probably the most famous railway locomotive in the world. It first caused a sensation for its beauty and its speed in 1923, and it soon became a national icon. The fastest and most comfortable way of travelling between London and Scotland, The Flying Scotsman only got faster and more luxurious as competition from other routes, airlines, and the motor car threatened. From 1928 it began running non-stop, an achievement that earned it yet more attention. This superbly illustrated book celebrates the much-loved locomotive, the train that shared its name, the route it took, and how it captured the imagination of the nation. reviewed by
