Chcesz dowiedzieć się więcej o historii, konstrukcji oraz działaniu Latającego Szkota?

Odpowiedzią jest podręcznik Haynes.

Prawdpodobnie najbardziej kultowa lokomotywa parowa na świecie, legendarny Latający Szkot, był pierwszym pociągiem, który osiągnął prędkość 100 mil na godzinę. W czasach swojej świetności prowadził jedyną nieprzerwaną usługę pasażerską między Londynem a Edynburgiem. Kiedy wycofano go z regularnej służby w 1963 roku, po prawie 40 latach służby, lokomotywa miała na swoim liczniku dwa miliony mil.

W styczniu 2016 r., Po trwającym dekadę kompleksowym i eksperckim projekcie renowacji, Flying Scotsman powrócił na główny rynek Wielkiej Brytanii jako jeden z klejnotów w kolekcji National Railway Museum.

Perhaps the most iconic steam locomotive in the world, the legendary Flying Scotsman was the first train to achieve 100mph and in its glory days ran the only non-stop passenger service between London and Edinburgh. When it was withdrawn from regular service in 1963, after nearly 40 years in service, the locomotive had travelled an estimated two million miles.

In January 2016 after a complete and expert restoration project lasting a decade, Flying Scotsman returned to the UK’s mainline as one of the jewels in the National Railway Museum’s collection.

Author: Philip Atkins is the son of a noted amateur railway photographer, and served as the Librarian at the National Railway Museum, York, for 30 years. His long-time close involvement with the Museum’s huge archive set him in good stead when he was approached to write this book soon after his retirement.

Icon titles were originally published in the classic, larger manual size and have now been produced in a smaller format containing the same information.
