Manufacturer description

Britain's love affair with the Flying Scotsman is showing no sign of slowing down, especially since the iconic high speed steam train underwent a £4.2m restoration to get it back on the tracks for 2016. Now you can own a slice of model railways history with one of these iconic miniature trains which are finely detailed and just like the original design by Sir Nigel Gresley.

Hornby is delighted to offer No. 4472 'the Flying Scotsman' as part of our expanding collection of DCC ready model trains designed by the late, great steam engineer Sir Nigel Gresley. Now available as a Hornby Railroad locomotive, this version of Flying Scotsman model train is perfect for younger railway modelers because of its robust yet clean and attractive detailing. 

Add this world famous locomotive to your model railway track layout and celebrate a timeless classic adored by train enthusiasts ever since being built at Doncaster Works by LNER for £7,944 back in 1923.
