A Photo from Day 1 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
Here, at Shildon's Locomotion Museum, there was a static display of 60103 - "Flying Scotsman" which was the first locomotive recorded as having reached 100 m.p.h. for part of its journey on 30 November 1934 breaking the world speed record at the time.
Nigel Gresley designed 4472 later numbered 60103 was originally an A1 Pacific 4-6-2 was one of the first to have a Corridor tender which enabled a crew change on long journeys and this enabled it and similar Locomotives to run non-stop between London Kings Cross and Edinburgh Waverley Stations, a distance of about 390 miles.
Later in 1947, with a larger boiler added Flying Scotsman was reclassified as an A3 Locomotive.
"Flying Scotsman" was recorded as having travelled over 2 million miles in service of LNER and later BR.
The locomotive also went to the USA and Canada and toured between 1969 and 1971.
