A digital drawing depicting the steam locomotive Flying Scotsman as it would have been seen Circa 1930. This is the classic image of Flying Scotsman with the letters LNER on the tender and 4472 on the cab. From 1928 to 1936 Flying Scotsman had a corridor tender giving the crew access to the locomotive from the train. This enabled it to travel the 392 miles from London to Edinburgh in eight hours changing the crew without stopping. By 1936 the non-stop service was being carried out by the streamlined A4s and Flying Scotsman reverted to a non-corridor tender.

It was renumbered 4472 and given the name "Flying Scotsman" just before it represented LNER as its flagship locomotive at the British Empire Exhibition, at Wembley Park in 1924. It represented LNER again at the 1925 exhibition and this artwork depicts Flying Scotsman as it would have appeared, with its number on the low sided tender and the LNER crest on the cab.

Post War, steam locomotives were aging and poorly maintained, hence the pre-war speeds were never attained. On the 23rd May 1959 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley set a post-war steam speed record of 112mph on Stoke Bank hauling a full passenger train. By the late 1950s, the age of steam traction was over and steam was being replaced by diesel power. Sir Nigel Gresley was withdrawn from service on 1st February 1966 and survives to this day in preservation.
