One of the world's most famous locomotives, the Flying Scotsman was built in 1923 for a cost of 7,944 (over 491,000 in today's money). It was the first locomotive to reach 100mph and travel the world. Our delightful Flying Scotsman train is licensed from the National Railway Museum and will zoom along a wooden rail track, either as a solo engine or with carriages attached to its magnetic coupling. It even has the famous Apple Green shade. Did you know that in the Second World War it got painted as wartime black before being green again? The Flying Scotsman is a wonderful realistic addition to any ! Magnetic couplings ensure the Flying Scotman's compatibility with all other engines and carriages in the range. Most other major wooden railway brands are compatible. Made from high quality, sustainably sourced FSC Certified wood.
