EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion in the history of The Flying Scotsman engine. In 1963, Mr Alan Pegler became the proud owner of this iconic locomotive, and on its 40th anniversary run, he leaned out of the cabin window to warmly greet Lord Provost Sir Herbert Brechin at Waverley Station in Edinburgh, Scotland. The Flying Scotsman is renowned as an express passenger train service that has connected the capitals of Scotland and England since 1862. Designed by Sir Herbert Nigel Gresley, it holds a special place in railway history. On May 1st, 1928, this very locomotive made headlines by completing a non-stop journey from London Kings Cross to Edinburgh covering an impressive distance of 392 miles (631 km). In this blackened and soot-covered image taken on May 1st, 1968, we witness a significant moment as two influential figures come together to celebrate the legacy of The Flying Scotsman. With coal-stained hands extended for a handshake and steam billowing around them, they embody the spirit of this magnificent machine. This print serves as both a nostalgic reminder and an homage to the golden age of railways. It transports us back to an era when steam trains ruled supreme and evokes feelings of admiration for those who preserved these marvels for future generations to appreciate.
