This is the first official steam locomotive to have coupling rods on the wheels since the 12v era of the Trains theme. LNER Class A3 4472 Flying Scotsman, a 4-6-2 Pacific steam locomotive to a design of Nigel Gresley, was constructed in 1923 at Doncaster Works for the London and North Eastern Railway(LNER).On 8 August 1989, the locomotive set a record for the longest non-stop run by a steam locomotive traveling 422 miles (679 km).

Meticulously crafted to capture the essence of a bygone era, this set combines the charm of classic train design with LEGO’s signature attention to detail. I think that this train is possibly the best LEGO train set that has ever been made, which is why I want this one in particular. I wonder how it would look using the dark green on the Emerald Night versus the tan and brown of the coaches? The followup theme, Creator Experts later released additional train models including the Crocodile Locomotive 10277-1. It was employed on long-distance express East Coast Main Line trains by the LNER and its successors, British Railways Eastern and North-Eastern Regions, notably on the London to Edinburgh Flying Scotsman train service after which it was named.The differences for the second version are indicated in this inventory in the Alternate Items section with Match ID 99.
