Flying Scotsman
EDITORS COMMENTS
- LNER High-pressure Compound Express Locomotive No. 10,000, designed by Sir Nigel Gresley, the visionary Chief Mechanical Engineer of the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER), is seen here leaving Waverley Station in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1932. This iconic steam locomotive, built at LNER's works in Darlington, was a groundbreaking innovation in railway technology and design. Gresley's design for the "Flying Scotsman" was a high-pressure compound express locomotive, featuring a unique Yarrow tube boiler that allowed for increased steam pressure and efficiency. The locomotive's advanced design and sleek appearance made it a symbol of speed and progress in the rail industry. The "Flying Scotsman" was named after the famous daily train service that connected Edinburgh and London, and its impressive speed of over 80 miles per hour made it the fastest steam locomotive in the world at the time. This photograph captures the moment of departure, with a plume of steam rising from the engine and the locomotive's powerful wheels turning, ready to embark on its next journey. Sir Nigel Gresley's innovative design and engineering expertise revolutionized the railway industry, paving the way for faster, more efficient trains and setting new standards for steam locomotive technology. The "Flying Scotsman" remains an enduring symbol of the golden age of rail travel and a testament to the ingenuity and creativity of its designer.
