Flying Scotsman, The: 100th Anniversary (DVD)

The Flying Scotsman is known as the most famous steam locomotive in the world. There are few people who have not heard of this magnificent machine, but far fewer know the complicated story of how it became a National Treasure.

In this richly illustrated documentary (narrated by Tony Robinson), we tell the story of how the Flying Scotsman came into being, before exploring what happened to it once it passed into private ownership.

Featuring interviews with Alan Pegler, Sir William McAlpine and the engineers who have played a key part in keeping the Flying Scotsman running so that today, people can still travel on and admire this engineering marvel.
