LNER Class A3 4472 Flying Scotsman

Flying Scotsman, as No. 60103, steaming past Hadnall in Shropshire in May 2017 on its way to a Cathedrals Express excursion. Built at Doncaster Works in February 1923 to Sir Nigel Gresley's design, this LNER 4-6-2 Pacific began as an A1 and now runs as an A3. It hauled the first non-stop Flying Scotsman service between London King's Cross and Edinburgh Waverley in 1928, and on November 30, 1934, it became the first locomotive officially authenticated at 100 mph. The National Railway Museum owns it and still sends it out on tours, so riding behind it is a real possibility.
