	The LNER A1 and A3 Gresley Pacifics
		The A3 was a modification of the original A1 design, and all of the surviving A1s were eventually rebuilt as A3s.
		In 1945, Thompson redesignated the remaining A1s as Class A10.
		It was then operated commercially by Flying Scotsman Railways in an attempt to cover the costs of the rebuild and future maintenance work.

	LNER Class A3 4472 Flying Scotsman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The LNER Class A3 Pacific locomotive number 4472 "Flying Scotsman" (originally no. 1472) was built in 1923 for the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) at Doncaster Works to a design of Sir Nigel Gresley.
		As of 2006, Flying Scotsman is undergoing a major 18-month overhaul at the NRM and is not due to resume running until late 2007.
		Flying Scotsman is often referred to as "the most famous steam locomotive in the world".

	A3 LNER Pacific - The Flying Scotsman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The popularity and fame of 'Flying Scotsman' was further enhanced when in 1934, hauling a dynamometer car; it became the first steam locomotive to record a fully authenticated speed of 100 miles per hour.
		'Flying Scotsman' continued to give excellent service for the LNER in its splendid livery of apple green with fl, white and red lining until 1948 when the new nationalized 'British Railways' was formed.
		The Flying Scotsman Story Exhibition opened at the The National Railway Museum, York, in April 2006.

		In 1924 the locomotives of LNER were renumbered - the renowned '4472' was given to her - and she was subsequently moved to London for the British Empire Exhibition.
		Between these high points of her service, the Flying Scotsman continued her normal duties and was eventually upgraded to A3 class, although the prestigious express routes were gradually being taken over by Gresley's new A4 class locomotives.
		On 23rd February 1996 Flying Scotsman was purchased by Dr Tony Marchington who proceeded to finance a major restoration, and on 4th July 1999 the beautifully restored Flying Scotsman made her inaugural run from Kings Cross to York.

		When the LNER was formed taking over the Great Northern, which had started construction of the Pacific’s, the management was not happy with the fuel consumption of its inherited A1’s despite their still producing them.
		In 1937 the LNER had experimented with the use of the ‘Kylchap’ double blastpipe and chimney fitted to A3 No.2751 ‘Humorist’ and this was found to be a great improvement to the locomotives performance though the fitting of this type exhaust was never carried out to the rest of the class until 1957.
		The engine went on for a long career converted to class A3 along with its class members but in the January of 1959 was fitted with the Kylchap double blastpipe and chimney with Geraman style smoke deflectors fitted in the December of 1961.

		''The Scotsman'' was launched in 1817 as a liberal weekly by lawyer William Ritchie and customs official Charles Maclaren in response to the "unblushing subservience" of competing newspapers to the Edinburgh establishment.
		The Scotsman was an automobile series of the Studebaker Packard Corporation of South Bend, Indiana that was produced for model years 1957 and 1958.
		The Scotsman was essentially a stripped Studebaker Champion, which allowed Studebaker to offer a vehicle that could compete with the Chevrolet 150 and Chevrolet Del Ray, the Ford Custom, and the Plymouth Plaza, all of which were price leader models with minimal frills.

	LNER A3 "Flying Scotsman"
		This was followed one year later (when the GNR had become part of the LNER) by what has surely become the World’s most famous steam locomotive –; No.4472 ‘Flying Scotsman’.
		Many more examples were added to the class in the 1920’s and into the early 30’s, first as Class A1 and then subsequently with higher pressure boilers and altered valve gear as Class A3.
		Since the new non-stop service was called The Flying Scotsman it comes as no surprise that locomotive 4472 – ‘Flying Scotsman’ was chosen to launch the service in May of that year.

		It thus became the LNER's top-link passenger locomotive for the next decade, until Gresley went in the wind-tunnel and produced the graceful streamlined A4, still the fastest steam engine on rails.
		Gordon was an experimental engine, built by the Great Northern Railway (before the LNER was formed in 1923) in 1922 of which later became the class A3 Pacifics (4-6-2), of which the Flying Scotsman is the only other survivor.
		The original Gordon on the Rev Awdry's model layout was in fact bashed from a Triang LMS 7P "Princess" Pacific loco, a moulding which launched the Rovex, later Triang range in 1950 and the basis for Testbedford Jct's Turbomotive.

		Designed by Sir Nigel Gresley, the A3 pacific steam locomotive was manufactured in 1923 in Doncaster, turned out in the colours of the new LNER company – which she still proudly wears, and is the only surviving engine of the class.
		Flying Scotsman toured Australia during the country’s bicentennial celebrations in 1988 and 1989.
		Flying Scotsman was completely rebuilt between 1996 and 1999 and was returned to the mainline with an oversubscribed ‘Inaugural Run’ to York in July 1999.

	The Gresley A4 Pacifics
		From this, he calculated that a streamlined and modified A3 design would be able to haul trains of eight or nine carriages at similar speeds.
		As with the A3, Walschaerts gear was used on the outside cylinders, and Gresley's conjugated gear was used for the inside cylinder.
		The LNER only claimed a peak average of 125mph - so breaking the world record for steam traction held by the German State Railways (124.5mph) and the British record set by the LMS (114mph).

		The Flying Scotsman is possibly the most famous locomotive in the world, designed by Sir Nigel Gresley to haul the fastest and heaviest trains on the London and North Eastern Railway.
		Originally classed as an A1 it was rebuilt to A3 specification to incorporate the lessons learnt at the Exchange Trials of 1925.
		The class were first introduced in 1922 by the Great Northern Railway and were to be seen anywhere on the East Coast main lines between King’s Cross and Aberdeen.

		The East Coast Main Line over which the Flying Scotsman runs was built in the 19th century by many small railway companies, but mergers and acquisitions led to only three companies controlling the route; the North British Railway, the North Eastern Railway and the Great Northern Railway.
		The result was the Class 55 'Deltic', and the Deltic-hauled Flying Scotsman became a centrepiece of British Railways advertising, as it had been for the LNER.
		The Flying Scotsman name is still used by today's operator of Anglo-Scottish trains on the East Coast Main Line, Great North Eastern Railway (which subtitles itself The Route of the Flying Scotsman).

		For almost 35 years 'Flying Scotsman' was used to pull the express passenger trains for the LNER and then later British Railways.
		However, 'Flying Scotsman' was purchased by Mr Alan Pegler and, after an extensive refit at the Doncaster Works, was returned to 'the metals' to pull special private charter services.
		During the refit, at which time the locomotive was repainted in the bright apple green of the LNER, the double chimney was replaced by a single chimney and the German style smoke deflectors were removed.

	A3 class 4-6-2
		In 1924 that most celebrated of all steam locomotives, Nigel Gresley's 'A1' class 4472 'Flying Scotsman' was a major exhibit at the British Empire Exhibition in Wembley.
		In March 1935 'A3' 2750 'Papyrus' hauled a six car train from Kings Cross to Newcastle and return at an average speed of 80 mph with a maximum of 108 mph attained down Stoke Bank.
		This performance coupled with the success of an earlier trial with 'A1' 4472 'Flying Scotsman' proved to be the inspiration for the introduction of Gresley's definitive masterpiece, the streamlined 'A4' 'Pacific'.
