Flying Scotsman, or, 4472, as it is also affectionately known was the first express passenger locomotive to carry passengers non-stop from London to Edinburgh. Currently the much loved engine is in need of an overhaul after the National Railway Museum (NRM) saved the iconic engine for the nation.
With the help of a group of Deltic enthusiasts, the NRM is looking to restore Deltic 55002 to working order for use on preserved railways. Also known as the Kings Own Yorkshire Light Infantry (KOYLI), KOYLI is a significant part of the national collection. Built in the early 1960’s, Deltics represent the birth of high speed passenger service on the East Coast Main Line, from London to Scotland. Reaching speeds of 100 mph, Deltics changed the life of many commuters by significantly reducing journey times.
