Construction Set Locomotive Flying Scotsman COBI
































Construction Set Locomotive Flying Scotsman COBI
In 1924, a class A1 locomotive with number 4472 left the workshop in Doncaster. Designed by the eminent engineer Nigel Gresley, the Flying Scotsman quickly gained fame for its then unheard-of performance. As the first steam locomotive in the world, it officially reached a speed of 100 miles per hour (160.9 km/h), making it a symbol of Britain's technological strength. In 1934, it completed the route between London and Edinburgh (632 km) without a single stop and participated in international tours in the USA, Canada, and Australia in the following decades. Despite the difficult years of World War II and changes in railway transport, the Flying Scotsman survived, was restored, and still serves as a riding museum today. In 2023, it celebrated its 100th anniversary as a fully functional national treasure of the United Kingdom, symbolizing the steam age and engineering triumph.
