All of Gresley's A1/A3's were
originally named after racehorses and 'Robert the
Devil' was no exception. Built at the Doncaster Works
and outshopped in 1923, this locomotive was rebuilt as
an A3 in 1942 but retained its GN tender which
remained with the locomotive until withdrawal in mid
1963. Powered by a ringfield motor housed in the
tender, the Hornby model boasts superior detailing
including sprung buffers and pickups on all the
driving wheels ensuring smooth control at slow speeds.
Length 293mm. Suitable rolling stock: R4054/5

For almost 35 years 'Flying Scotsman' was used to pull the express passenger
trains for the LNER and then later British Railways. In January 1963 BR
locomotive 60103, formerly 4472, was withdrawn from service. However, 'Flying
Scotsman' was purchased by Mr Alan Peglar and, after an extensive refit at the
Doncaster Works, was returned to 'the metals' to pull special private charter
services. During the refit, at which time the locomotive was repainted in the
bright apple green of the LNER, the double chimney was replaced by a single
chimney and the German style smoke deflectors were removed.
