Class Information: Although Class A3 locomotives were introduced in 1928; the reality is that they were all re-builds of earlier A1 locomotives dating back to 1922.

Year Information: For almost 35 years 'Flying Scotsman' was used to pull the express passenger trains for the LNER and then later British Railways. In January 1963 BR locomotive 60103, formerly 4472, was withdrawn from service. However, 'Flying Scotsman' was purchased by Mr Alan Peglar and, after an extensive refit at the Doncaster Works, was returned to ‘the metals' to pull special private charter services. During the refit at which time the locomotive was repainted in the bright apple green of the LNER, the double chimney was replaced by a single chimney and the German style smoke deflectors were removed. This Hornby model is representative of the locomotive as it appeared throughout the 1970’s.
