Flying Scotsman had rocks thrown at it, was shot at, fired to hell, drove almost non-stop for 50 thousand miles, was rusted to hell for three and a half years, but even after all of that, she could still pump her pistons. What a legend.

It was this day, 100 years ago, when the worlds most famous steam locomotive was built. It was some other day, 99 years ago, when the then yet to be most famous steam locomotive was given a name. Happy birthday, Flying Scot!

Happy 100th, Flying Scotsman. I hope to one day get to ride down your line.

@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933 Год назад

The fact that you made all the different chapters of the video named & themed (Mainly in the use of the soundtrack.) around the 6 currently animated Jojo arcs was a stroke of genius. It threw me off and gave me quite a laugh.

The fact that the PM pulled funding and willingly let a national icon and relic be abandoned in a foreign nation is both appalling and yet so very predicable from what I have seen of British politicians.

The 60s were a dark time for American Railroads, but Flying Scotsman’s tour was one of the few bright spots. Flying Scotsman will always be the most famous steam locomotive in the world. I too hope it ever gets to be restored as LNER 4472 again one day in the distant future

I'm pretty sure that, as long as there will be steam enthusiasts, this legend will outlive us all...

@williamgeorgefraser Год назад

I saw it back in May 1968 when it did the non-stop run from London to Edinburgh. At the time, there were no watering facilities in Edinburgh and it made its way to my local shed, Dunfermline (62C) for water and coal. The last steam engine ever to visit the shed.

@lukechristmas3951 Год назад

Happy 100th to Flying Scotsman! While we weren't alive to see Scotsman while in America, I'm sure if we could trave back to those days, we would do anything we can to make sure Peglar didn't have to declare bankruptcy and appreciate the entire train much more than the people who were there. Scotsman has many amazing stories from his life and it's no mystery why no one can't dislike Scotsman in the least.

@richieosborn2639 Год назад

I heard of the fear of Flying Scotsman being converted into a restaurant from NWR1991 in his NWR Tales Timeline video. He told me in a comment in Gordon’s Fallout that it would’ve been designed like you’re dining in an express train in the 1920s. And then I replied by saying that it reminded me of a restaurant in an episode of The Simpsons where the family eats at a restaurant converted from a wrecked passenger train.

@davidty2006 Год назад

Normally it tends to be the passenger wagons that get converted.

@taal223 Год назад

I always tear up at this story when Flying Scotsman makes it home under its own steam for the final stretch. Happy 100th Anniversary Flying Scotsman.

@NewController01 Год назад

Also little side note, one of the rolling stock used in the tour was the Devon Belle Observation car no.14...after Scotsman left the US, the coach was left behind for a number of years in San Fransisco and attached to a office building. in 2007, it was repatriated to the UK and now resides on the Swanage Railway, actually reuniting with Scotsman in early 2019

@TrainMaster04 Год назад

I live about 30 minutes away from Slaton, Texas and there is actually some more documented history while it stayed in Texas. For instance, the derailment took place in Waco, Texas behind the now famous grain elevators. MKT crews were able to get Scotsman re-railed with a small crane.

@egpx Год назад

Loved the instrumental of the classic Yes song ‘Roundabout’ at the end. I can’t say I understood what all the Japanese stuff was all about but each to their own. Great video of just part of the Flying Scotsman story. Along with Jago, that’s a double dose of Scotsman in as many days.

@Kevin-go2dw Год назад

Probably the only railway steam engine to circumnavigate the planet. I have read about what was required to bring the engine to Australia in 1987-88. One of the organizers put his house up as guarantee that the engine would return. It is unlikely such an event will happen again as the shipping and cranes are not available as they once were.

@SKY7AR Год назад

@Double_D__ Год назад

You know, I'm willing to bet that Flying Scotsman traveled the same distance to get to British Week that the Stardust Crusaders did to get to Egypt. Does this make the Flying Scotsman an honorary Jojo?

@spankflaps1365 Год назад

Note that Pegler took British coaches for the USA tour, because he didn’t want the antiquated American rolling stock on his prized engine. Also the American coal wouldn’t fire the engine properly, so they had to ship in some Welsh coal.

Those restaurant owners that forced Flying Scotsman to be moved out of the way sound like the merchants along South Huntington and Centre Street in Boston (Jamaica Plain neighborhood) who complained about potential loss of parking if the E branch of the Green Line was restored, and helped to kill the restoration past Heath Street.

This video is worlds colliding for me and when I saw the thumbnail and title I clicked it right away. I usually don't comment on video's but this one is an exception for me. I felt genuine emotions during the entire video and when Scotsman got home at the end I almost shed a tear of happiness. Thank you for this video.

Will you do Flying Scotsman in Australia or even what he would look like on a Japan tour?

Wel the Scotsman can’t go on a Japanese tour as the only lines it could use are high speed due to the gauge and I don’t think the Japanese, who do love the engine, would permit the change in schedule
