<p>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 When it was withdrawn from regular service in 1963, after nearly 40 years in service, the locomotive had travelled an estimated two million miles.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.</p>

Fascinating history of the Class 9F 2-10-0 locomotives. The author, Librarian of the National Railway Museum in York, was a specialist in the design and operation of BR locomotives and here he tells the story of the 9F, the final main line steam locomotive built in any significant number. He explores the early issues (of concept and development), how the 9F broke new ground through its extraordinary power classifications, its trials and tribulations, the units fitted with Franco-Crosti boilers, its demise at home and use abroad. Illustrated throughout with black and white photos as well as numerous schematic diagrams. With roster and technical charts showing its power. 92 pages.
