The Flying Scotsman, BR poster, 1962

In 1962, British Railways Eastern Region introduced a fleet of twenty-two Deltic diesel electric locomotives. This poster was produced to mark the centenary of the Flying Scotsman service and project the modernity of the new Deltics. The poster shows an illustration of The Flying Scotsman in 1862 (above), rendered in shades of brown to give it an antique look, and in 1962 as the epitome of sleek modern design and speed

National Railway Museum is the home of iconic locomotives. Our historic prints reflect the age and quality of the original artwork we hold to preserve their artistic character, including authentic colour reproduction, marks and creases.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic "Flying Scotsman" in all its glory, capturing a remarkable moment in British railway history. Produced by British Railways Eastern Region in 1962, this poster commemorates the centenary of the legendary Flying Scotsman service while also highlighting the introduction of twenty-two state-of-the-art Deltic diesel electric locomotives. The poster cleverly juxtaposes two eras: one from 1862 and another from 1962. The top section portrays an exquisite illustration of The Flying Scotsman as it appeared a century earlier, exuding timeless elegance with its steam locomotive design. Rendered in warm shades of brown, this depiction adds an antique charm to the overall composition. In striking contrast below lies a representation of The Flying Scotsman's modern counterpart – sleek, futuristic, and powered by cutting-edge diesel electric technology. This image symbolizes progress and speed as it captures the epitome of contemporary design during that era. With meticulous attention to detail and artistic finesse, this print beautifully encapsulates both nostalgia for the past and excitement for what lies ahead on Britain's railways. A true testament to engineering marvels and innovation within transportation history. Displayed proudly by NRM/Pictorial Collection at National Railway Museum, this artwork serves as a visual reminder of how far we have come while honoring our rich heritage in rail travel.
