The Flying Scotsman

Climb aboard The Flying Scotsman and experience the thrill of riding the world's most famous locomotive in this breath-taking and informative two-program collection. First, you will examine all of the most exciting and interesting moments in The Flying Scotsman's long history as you witness its dramatic return to Yorkshire in celebration of the venerable locomotive's 200th birthday. Then you will join engineers, crew, former owners and rail fans on a journey of pure nostalgia through the beautiful countryside of Britain as The Flying Scotsman is tested and readied for summer seaside excursions. Both programs include rare archival footage and exclusive access to the inner workings of the locomotive. Plus, as a bonus, this collection also includes an in-depth interview with Alan Pegler, the man who rescued The Flying Scotsman from the scrapheap nearly 50 years ago.
