Dance Information

60103, famously recognized as The Flying Scotsman, is a celebrated steam locomotive that emerged onto the railway scene in 1923.

This famous piece of railway history earned its name through its association with the renowned "Flying Scotsman" service, where it played a pivotal role in shuttling passengers between London and Edinburgh. The locomotive boasts a distinctive apple-green livery, contributing to its recognizability.

Constructed by the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER), the design of the 60103 is simple and reflects the engineering style of its era. Over the years, it has undergone several restorations and refurbishments to preserve its historic charm and operational capabilities. The Flying Scotsman holds the distinction of being the first locomotive to reach 100 miles per hour on a passenger train, achieving this feat in 1934.
