The Flying Scotsman

During her life, the Flying Scotsman has broken records, travelled the world, starred in a movie, and even bankrupted her owners. She inspired such affection among steam fans and still attracts huge crowds wherever she goes.

With steam on its way out, it falls to enthusiast Alan Pegler to save the mighty Scotsman, but his ambitions see her stranded stateside. Three owners later, it is revamped by the National Railway Museum in the 00s.
