I have Hornby Flying Scotsman, and she's analogue-controlled. My Mum bought her for me as a Birthday Present, from Llangollen Station Shop. I tested her afterwards, on the then un-named Cat Valley Steam Railway, and she ran like a dream straight out of the box. If I had a favourite LNER engine, Mallard the A4 would come first and Scottie the A3 would come second. She hasn't given me any trouble throughout the time I've owned her. I wouldn't swap her for any other model A3. Don't make any changes to your model, she's beautiful the way she is. I love her for what she is on the inside: a Really Useful Engine.
Flying Scotsman started his life as an A1. He ran non stop from London to Edinburgh and set the official 100mph record as an A1. He was given an A3 transformation in about 1947. I hope this helps.
Hello Matt, Nice video! I also wondered what the difference was between an A1 - A3 and a search reveals that the Flying Scotsman as we know it today is a A3 but was modified from the original A1. I found some notes that explains this. Some A3s were built as A3s. The striking elements are the chimney which as A3 is a double and in A1 is a single. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNER_Gresley_Classes_A1_and_A3
The Flying Scotsman was built as an A1 and was converted to an A3 in about 1943 or 1944. It only got it double chimney in the late 1950's when in BR ownership . The Hornby Model of the FlyingScotsman is when she was still an A1.
The Flying Scotsman locomotives were designed by Sir Nigel Gresley. He first designed the A1 product which the Hornby model that you purchased there is based on. They were kept in service for a very short time. They were built for passenger express. The A1 locomotives were renumbered and named A1 1472 - A1 4472 Flying Scotsman. Two months after a display of Pacifics to see which one was best which the A1 took part in, Sir Gresley went back to modify all his Pacifics. They were converted into a much bigger, much more improved and powerful "double chimney" version which was very successful and remained in service. Some of them survived from scrap and is now still in service for tourism. Those were the A3's. You can buy the models of them but they don't come with a TTS chip.
Flying Scotsman was built as a Gresley A1 in 1923 just after the grouping of 1923 and originally ran with the number 1472 but had no name. It was modified to be an A3 in 1945 or 1946 after a brief time as an A10 (merely reclassified and not yet modified to be an A3). It was reclassified by Thompson to make way for his A1 class 4-6-2 then Flying Scotsman and the other A1/A10 pacific class engines (minus 1470/4470 Great Northern) were modified to be A3 class engines. The Hornby Railroad Range model of Flying Scotsman depicts the engine as it was as an A1 from 1927 when it gained it's corridor tender to 1937 when it was given a non-Corridor tender.
matt slade I live in the USA but I have been into trains since I was just a little kid and I like to do research on trains from England and America and one locomotive I have liked to look into the history of in the past is Flying Scotsman. I have many books on trains and quite a few of them have sections on the LNER Gresley A1/A3 class Pacifics. Another way of seeing that is a Gresley A1 and not an A3 is the dome. When an A1, Flying Scotsman had a round dome like on your model of the engine. When modified to be an A3, it was given it's more well known "Banjo" dome.
***** i thought you were from USA coz of you pic. i do love USA railways. i have good collection of USA locos and wagons on my layout and im doing a big running session with all my USA loco on the 4th July. keep an eye for it
Hello: I have two of the original non-sound Hornsby “Flying Scotsman’ loco’s and have just added sound to one, but I like that this one has it all built in and I like that you said it has the weight in the boiler which will help me pull all 10 of my passenger cars. Thanks for a great job.
I think all 4472 needs is fine tuning of firmware .I had same problem with the P2 TTStook it into my local model shop did not even charge me. P2 started up from stop & set off slow with no problem after that.
Flying Scotsman's current form is an A3, so you are partially right. But the A3 Flying Scotsman usually has the Banjo Dome. That one doesn't. Therefore as a lot of people know, Flying Scotsman's original form from 1923-1930's was an A1, which is the form both you and I have.
nice review matt, you given me an idea now, maybe get this new one, and give it a run on my layout with the older flying scotsman i have from about 1977-78, keep up the good work on reviews
Well worth the money. ... The jerking is the drive gears binding or a bit tight... Keep running it In e.g on a roaling road or main track at a low speed ...it may need a few hours in each direction.
Like the review of Flying Scotsman and the TTS RailRoad version looks value for money.No flying Scotsman started like as a Gresley A1 became an A4 after WW II.
I got R3284TTS the other day but already having A1 Flying Scotsman had it renumber`d & renamed 2547 Doncaster . The problem you talk about loco when setting off slowly dose not happen it pulls away smooth as silk. It is a great little loco pulling 10 / 12 coaches with ease.
Hi Matt, Very nice video and loco, I do like the TTS sounds. I have several locos with TTS sound. I am just waiting for the Flying Scotsman and the Class 47 to come into Hornby’s Visitor Centre; I get 20% off because I am a club member.
Afraid you're wrong mate, this model of Scotsman is when it was an A1 - the locomotive was later rebuilt into an A3, but as I said - this model is of it in A1 condition.
Nice review Matt , I have the Gladwell A4 TTS and I think they are fantastic value . First time I have seen the Flying Scotsman TTS it looks and runs well ......Peter.
Hi again Matt, I had the same problems with a judder when starting off with my Cock O North TTS. I also had problems, which from listening to the chuff sound your Flying Scotsman is giving out, which sound more like a continues hiss and not chuff’s, especially in reverse. When I rang Hornby they told me there are issues with the TTS sound decoder, it requirea 124/128 Steps to be set. When I change the Step Setting on my controller for the TTS chip to 124/128, can’t remember which, it worked fine.
Simon Young Thank's for the info, Did changing the steps to 128 solve the juddering issue or just the sound issue. I have the same juddering problem on my new Railroad Flying Scotsman. I am in two minds whether to send it back,the juddering is quite bad,but that is the only negative issue on this loco Maybe a replacement might be better, Excellent value for money tho. TED
It only resolved the sound problem, but I have returned two TTS Steam engines because of juddering. Hornby told me the motors were faulty and replaced both of them, I got them back last week. One was Gadwell and the other was C O North. I would return it if I were you
They run fine now, but I ttook them 2 moths, but that was because they were moving promises and had a lot to move. I would ring them, tell them your problem and ask how long it will take to fix, I am sure it would not take them long, and they may suggest something to try. Let me know how you get on
hi matt, was in scotland a few weeks back, in WH Smith bookshop, a dvd collection and old replica newspapers of rivalry between LMS and LNER and GWR, from the 1920's and 1930's, of the speed runs they competed against other, the disc has nearly 2 hours of old video
Nice running sound Matt. Others are a bit naff but at £99 it seems like good VFM. Good review. The jerking is a common issue with top price locos too. This can be a mix of running in and decoder programming/fine tuning. Stick with it and let us know what you find. Best wishes.
She was first built as an A1 but was modified to an A3. The clue is in her dome.... when she was modified to an A3 she was given a banjo dome along with a new boiler and tender.
Well, railroads are an American type of railway from where I come from. I call a railroad a railway myself as it was the term I have fun using, even if the railway in America is a railroad. Another thing, as an American citizen myself, I always liked UK class steam trains because they always look a lot more different than most of the steam engines the US has. By saying that, their not awful. I just found a very good preferring myself.
I do wonder why Hornby opted out on the shadow effect of the locomotives number and font. The previous Railroad tender drive model had the proper font applied...
Hi, nice video, just wondering in the video you said that you were going to change the numbers and lettering, could you tell me where they can be bought from, also any updated footage of the modified train, THANKS
Hi Matt can you please till me if you have any props with your flying Scotsman as i have now got one and it keeps stopping and making all the trains on my the layout keep stopping and going to. Ian
looks like this model could be enhanced with some real coal and decals. This could be the subject of a video. You could also use it as the basis for another a1 pacific.
Very good review thanks. A few points: It seems to me that it is very good value. Any complaints, then go and buy a £200 model with extra detail. I am very glad that you are not going to put the N.R. M.'s dogs dinner double chimney and smoke deflectors on this model. I like the s/d double chimney Scotsman, but ONLY in B. R. livery. Yes, as said the F Scotsman was originally an A1 and these did not fare well against the G.W.R.Castles on test. I believe also it had a different number in the early days. It has a round dome, but the A3's later had the 'banjo dome' as well as the corridor tender, instead of the older type with the coal rails. I could look this up in my book of the A1/3s if you need any more info, including the name of the A1 pitted against (I think Pendennis Castle). Thanks and well done.
Ah you're wrong, The Flying Scotsman was originally built as an A1 class, which is what you have and then rebuilt to an A3 along with the rest of the A1s.
nice sounds and some poor ones, nice video. i see what you mean by a bit jerky. you should see my Hornby Castle (Wellington). what dcc system are you using
Hi Matt i from INDIA . I bought Hornby R8115 DCC Digital TTS Sound Merchant Navy Class Locomotive Decoder but i have Hornby dc layout and DCC ready steam loco. Pl tell me which DCC control and power adaptor i should buy which is also compatible with bachmann DCC equipped loco i already ve
Just watched the video and for someone coming bac into the hobby these Railroad locos seem great value , you seem to be able to get two for the price of one premium model. And sound too . And a little money spent on lettering , lamps etc will bring the detail up to premium standards.
Both HO and OO use the same DC power to run their motors, but with their transformers use the wall power pack or transformer suitable for your nation's power. I run Hornby trains with its controller in the US but with a US power pack/transformer, i.e. the power brick. The British power pack/transformer would fry the trains in the US.

***** thanks for the info. when i first had this loco i thought hornby had made a mistake but i now no it is a A1 class
I really like that model of Flying Scotsman!
Trains Big and Small you should get one £99 is a good price for a sound loco
Very nice, I love it.

Thank you
Just bought a Hornby live steam Mallard and I'm hoping to fire it up tomorrow. I'm impressed by your attention to detail
Paul
ow that will be good to run a live steam loco. thanks

+Great British Railways iv just had the NRM Flying Scotsman and that model is an A3
It's not an A3. It is an A1. It even says on the Paper, "A1".
Thanks for that
+cnwtrains no probs
nice review matt, you given me an idea now, maybe get this new one, and give it a run on my layout with the older flying scotsman i have from about 1977-78, keep up the good work on reviews

Well worth the money. ...
The jerking is the drive gears binding or a bit tight...

Peter Shaw yeah it does look good. slow running is a bit rubbish though but its a good loco
Hi again Matt,

I would return it if I were you
Simon Young do they run ok now? and how long did take then to get the loco back to you
They run fine now, but I ttook them 2 moths, but that was because they were moving promises and had a lot
to move.
I would ring them, tell them your problem and ask how long it will take to fix, I am sure it would not take them long, and they may suggest something to try.
Let me know how you get on
Matt Flying Scotsman was an A1 when it was first built but after a few decades it was rebuilt into A3 so you see not everything is as it seems
The model you are reviewing is an A1 Gresley later it was made to be an A3.
NorthWesternRailway4 thanks. i no that now. dont no much about this loco really
I have a Hornby Flying Scotsman but it's different but I still like it
Good review. Not a bad model as a 'base' entry. I could cope with is and a good price.
+Nigel Carter yeah it is good and great price. i have the NRM Scotsman now. there is a big difference between them
hi matt, was in scotland a few weeks back, in WH Smith bookshop, a dvd collection and old replica newspapers of rivalry between LMS and LNER and GWR, from the 1920's and 1930's, of the speed runs they competed against other, the disc has nearly 2 hours of old video

RMLectronics East Yorks yeah there a bit naff lol. but as you say £99 is very good value
She was first built as an A1 but was modified to an A3.
The clue is in her dome.... when she was modified to an A3 she was given a banjo dome along with a new boiler and tender.
And wind deflectors
it was originally designed as a a1 as the model you have but was then fitted was a a3 boiler because of costs but has also had a4 boilers
Flying Scotsman was a A1 class when it was built and in 1950 it was a class A1
flying scotsman was originally an A1 when it was built about 1922-23, it was upgraded think just after the war to an A3
+Colin Prosser Was it upgraded because it didn't compare well against the GWR King class?
not sure about that
+streamleazefishhouse correction, it wasn't the King Class, it was the Castle Class
Great British Railways Yeah that's right :)
Colin Prosser they were upgraded before fhe war cause she reachd 100mph as an A3 and that was in the 30s
Ying scotsman was first an a1 but it had a rebuild and now its a a3 you can see it on the dome

flying Scotsman was a Gresley A1 reclassified as an A3 As Tornado is a Peppercorn A1 named after A H Peppercorn
Wow! I just heard the whistles on this model for the 1st time. They're a billion times better than that tin pea thing that's on the real locomotive!!!
I do wonder why Hornby opted out on the shadow effect of the locomotives number and font. The previous Railroad tender drive model had the proper font applied...
Nice loco Matt, have got same problems with jerky slow running on my Duke of Gloucester must be the decoder Hornby use.
Regards
Bob
westonman57 thanks. yeah it could be that. it runs very well once its move a bit faster
Nice presentation
Hi, nice video, just wondering in the video you said that you were going to change the numbers and lettering, could you tell me where they can be bought from, also any updated footage of the modified train, THANKS
Hi Matt,Did Hornby fix the problem on your R3248TTS Flying Scotsman for you ?.
i dont have this loco now. iv got the NRM one now
Your right it is an ... LNER Class A3 Pacific steam locomotive No. 4472 Flying
***** iv been told now when it was built it was an A1 and then was modified to a A3 class
matt slade Correct.
Nice review Matt!
Joe Jabczynski thanks Joe
Hi Matt can you please till me if you have any props with your flying Scotsman as i have now got one and it keeps stopping and making all the trains on my the layout keep stopping and going to. Ian
+Best people hi ian. my loco has stopped working. it keeps stopping and overloading my controller really don't no why
you are aware that there are holes in the back of the packaging to push her out
+TheValenta125 yeah i know. don't know why i didn't use them
shes a great loco i have her for my railway when its set up
it is a A1 and A3 it was A1 when its colour was wartime black
Hi there flying scotman was a A1 but was change to a A3 in a year or toe
Steam Line it was more then just a year or 2...
In fact I think it was never A3 4472 . After ww2 the LNER renumberd there locos then after that modified the loco.
looks like this model could be enhanced with some real coal and decals. This could be the subject of a video. You could also use it as the basis for another a1 pacific.
Very good review thanks. A few points: It seems to me that it is very good value. Any complaints, then go and buy a £200 model with extra detail. I am very glad that you are not going to put the N.R. M.'s dogs dinner double chimney and smoke deflectors on this model. I like the s/d double chimney Scotsman, but ONLY in B. R. livery. Yes, as said the F Scotsman was originally an A1 and these did not fare well against the G.W.R.Castles on test. I believe also it had a different number in the early days. It has a round dome, but the A3's later had the 'banjo dome' as well as the corridor tender, instead of the older type with the coal rails. I could look this up in my book of the A1/3s if you need any more info, including the name of the A1 pitted against (I think Pendennis Castle). Thanks and well done.
+Richard James thanks Richard. this loco is being replaced soon with a much better one. i might sell this one or rename it
+matt slade I love it can you give me it
Ah you're wrong, The Flying Scotsman was originally built as an A1 class, which is what you have and then rebuilt to an A3 along with the rest of the A1s.
nice sounds and some poor ones, nice video. i see what you mean by a bit jerky. you should see my Hornby Castle (Wellington). what dcc system are you using
+chris burrell im using a DCC Gauge Master advance. its a great controller
its a nice loco. shame it dosent have pick ups in the tender. i have one without sound but is not working
TrainMaster15 yeah that would make it run better
It was originally a A1 until 1947 when it was rebuilt to an A3
DevilsEyeCT right it all makes sens now thanks
Hi Matt i from INDIA . I bought Hornby R8115 DCC Digital TTS Sound Merchant Navy Class Locomotive Decoder
but i have Hornby dc layout and DCC ready steam loco. Pl tell me which DCC control and power adaptor i should buy which is also compatible with bachmann DCC equipped loco i already ve
4472 was an A1 Class , 60103 was the A3
What controller do you use
Have you upgraded th e lettering yet, and if so, how?
Just watched the video and for someone coming bac into the hobby these Railroad locos seem great value , you seem to be able to get two for the price of one premium model. And sound too . And a little money spent on lettering , lamps etc will bring the detail up to premium standards.
nice how much did it cost?
im definitely getting 1 of these, where did you order the headboard
got the headboard from ebay but Fox transfers do them as well
Actually fight Scotsman used to be in A1 not today 3 that was before she was turned into an a3
the flying scotsman started as an a1 then became an a3
MrTimmsy1986 yeah i no that now lol thanks
Hey matt I have a scotsman too just not dcc
Tow
matt can you use a normal none dcc controler with tts sound or do you need dcc ?
+model railways don't know. i will try one of my TTS locos on my DC controller. ill let you know what happens
okay thanks man
no the version you got is a a1
adi pullen ow ok. i didn't no that. thanks
he is a a1 and a3
How many coaches can it pull
+cnwtrains well iv have 7 on it but not tested how many in can pull
100th comments nice model!
+Princess Dandyes thanks very much :)
it is an A3 locomotive
KingOfModelRailways i now found out it was an A1 when it was first built and them became an A3
it is an A3 class because, if you've ever heard of Tornado, that is an A1 Peppercorn so Hornby are WRONG!
Flying Scotsman was built as an A1 which were re-classed A1/10 so the Pepercorn A1 could get it's designation.
oh, i didn't know that
Do you Base yours on a time in history
+Callum Ballantyn3 no. i run anything on my layout. if i like it will be running on the layout
It's not smooth when it starts because it's for the wheel spin
Make more flying Scotsman videos!
How much is it
+Samuel Bunch was £95 when i got it. dont know how much they are now
Hey Matt is oo gauge is big or small
Sean gaming OO gauge uses the same track as HO gauge. However OO scale is a bit larger than HO scale, 1 in 76 compared to 1 in 87.
Ok
Both HO and OO use the same DC power to run their motors, but with their transformers use the wall power pack or transformer suitable for your nation's power. I run Hornby trains with its controller in the US but with a US power pack/transformer, i.e. the power brick. The British power pack/transformer would fry the trains in the US.
SeaToby11 oo gauge is quit small but you can get smaller gauges. oo gauge is a good size not to big and not to small
A1 is COREECT it has been BOTH
It's an A3
no it's
Flying Scotsman is an a3
bryan condick yeah that's what i thought
bryan condick Not this one... This is Circa 1928 Prior to her rebuild... The clue is in her dome.
Also no smoke deflectors or double chimney
StupidityReigns Official
She was Built in 1923 as an A1 and was rebuilt in 1947 as an A3
After her rebuild she still retained a single chimney and did not have smoke deflectors. But had a modified boiler and a banjo dome.
The double chimney and smoke deflectors were added between the 1950's and 1960's.
no it is a one class you're wrong
A 3 class as far as i no
A3 mean A1
