100 Years of The Flying Scotsman

Boundless reaching 100 years old is not 2023’s only notable centenary. Quite possibly the world’s most famous steam locomotive, the Flying Scotsman, was built in 1923 and is being prepared for a return to the tracks this year. In this member-exclusive online event, engineer Simon Holroyd takes us on a fascinating journey from the engine’s glory days to its eventual decline, and describes his role in the restoration project which will see it back in glorious action 100 years on.
