- WOW! You never thought you'd see the Flying Scotsman on the IC82 channel, did you? But here she is! And in wartime black too. Personally, I adore this livery and I think it looks incredibly smart. Thankfully, the model did not disappoint. Enjoy!

The point of sprung buffers is if you want to be super realistic and use actual screwlink couplings and three link chains to couple wagons together. If you were to have non-sprung buffers and the chains slacked a little the wagons might bump into the buffers of the loco and lock around the buffers of the loco. If you have sprung buffers the wagons will simply bump into the buffers and bounce off because they are sprung loaded.
I never knew what the point of sprung buffers was before hearing something like what you said. Strange XD
Ive got no desire for the flying scotsman, but thats one of the nicest models ive ever seen.
A truly stunning piece of railway engineering.
Enjoying every minute of your vids, Will.
I personally am a Hornby fan and this is one of my favourite LNER A3s.
Another super new addition to your fleet! Well every railway modeller has to have a Flying Scotsman! LOL! Sure is a beautiful model! Shame the real one never seems to be in one piece! Would love to see her in service again!
I don't have one... but I am looking at getting one in the LNER Apple Green.
Excellent Will! Awesome review of this amazing loco! Liked & faved :)
Wow I really would like that. one of the best reviews you have ever done finally the flying Scotsman love it.
a great looking train and in black it looks even better. i still use my green one from years ago in my 1st starter pack lol. hornby is getting better and better. once again another great video.
Very nice, a lovely livery! Cheers, Jack
I did the same one some time ago, absolutely love this model. Even better on DCC too!
NRM Flying Scotsman Wartime Black Review
I think this Flying Scotsman is beautiful and I agree with you watching all the connecting rods and valve gear moving is wonderful. I really love steam locomotives and I love the British steam engines.
Same
Fantastic vid again will, please keep more coming
Just awesome. Well done.
Yes, she holds the recorded for longest non-stop run in 1988/89, but not from London to Scotland, but from Parks to Broken Hill during her year-long trip to Australia
I believe you need to remove the 4 handrail pillars on the sides of the smokebox(two on either side) and refit the smoke deflectors in their place.
I'd like to see Hornby do an A1/A3 in an authentic wartime black rather than 4472/103 in her museum condition. This model is an A3 but Flying Scotsman wasn't even converted to A3 specification until 1947.
These Hornby A1/A3s are really nice. I have 4475 Flying Fox and though she did get some valve gear damage I got her running properly again.
BTW check out www.lner.info/index.shtml for any LNER loco info.
Conor O'Hagan the flying Scotsman was built in 1923 and he was named after the Flying Scotsman train service he ran on
Flying Scotsman was built as a Gresley A1 in 1923 and remained unamed until 1924 just before the Wembley Exposition. The service "Flying Scotsman" wasn't officially named that until 1927 but can be traced back to the 1800's. The Flying Scotsman (locomotive) was numbered through its life 1472, 4472, 502, 103, 60163 and back to 4472 (when preserved) and was fitted with a larger non corridor tend (identical to Mallard's and Dwight D. Eisenhower's) in 1936 or 1937, rebuilt to A3 specs and fitted with the banjo dome in 1947, renumbered to 502 then 103 in 1946, and fitted with the double chimney after the creation of British Railways and fitted with the smoke lifters later on to solve the issue of drifting smoke obscuring the view forward from the cab caused the the previously mentioned double chimney. And under British Railways ownership was used in occasional express goods train use.
+InterCity82 . Wow, a beautiful model!! The flying Scotsman is still around, amazingly? I have seen it in videos and on a game (MSTS) and...well...she's the most viewed locomotive on the train sim box in the UK I guess, as there are different boxes-Dash 9 in the US, FS in the UK, and a Japanese/Asian train in Asia. I think so, though
Can't beat seeing the Flying Scotsman hauling Pullman coaches
The Flying Scotsman is amazing.
I don't blame you about liking steam locomotives I am a fan my self.
Cannot wait to see the upstairs layout someday!
Finally I've been waiting for this video for years
lol well enjoy!
its an honour to have the privilege of you responding to my comment my name is James and I am a massive fan of yours I have my own channel for electric trains and I get my inspiration from you for my channel paradox railways thank you for responding to my comment your the best youtuber by far
You are Sooo patient like you even read the instructions I wish I was like you
Well done will, another informative and very interesting review on arguably the greatest loco ever! (Green will always be the colour for me tho)
Just wondering if you could do a general maintenance video for us, oiling and cleaning etc. im sure u do a lot of it with the amount of trains u have?
Please keep the videos coming!!!!!
Glad someone else understands the satisfaction of watching a steamer's valve gear moving. Not a lot of diesels have siderods... at all...
That was an Awesome Flying Scotsman video I can't wait too see a video of the Flying scotsman 60103 in British Railways Brunswick Green with Sound Someday
Great review and nice locomotive mate
Thanks Ian!
The Flying scotsman can pull some Teak LNER coaches. Hornby do make several variants of them. I think you should review them, and have either, one of your A4s, This one, or your peppercorn model.
Great review, I use blu tax for the smoke deflectors, also mine pulls a nice long 8 coach rake of bachmann MK1s up evergreen bank without no slip, stunning loco mine is running this week for the Xmas train
Nice vid! Hornby's Flying Scotsman is my only British model train.
She broke the non-stop record in 1928 from London to Edinburgh and the end broke the record again in the eighties on her Australian tour
nice one matie, it will do half that slow speed with a deacent current dumping controller , them hornby ones ohhhh . great vids mate
I'm halfway through building an LNER pacific (an A2/2) in 7 1/4" gauge, and will most likely do it in this livery on completion (apart from the bufferbeams no fiddly lining to do!)
Hey there, great review! Is it possible to do close coupling between locomotive and tender and get her to run on a straight line?
While I don't really care for the scotsman, besides the fact that she came to my home town in the Central West of NSW, Parkes, in 1989. 4472 set the record for the longest run non-stop between Parkes/Goobang Junction and Broken Hill, flying through place name towns such as Ivanhoe and Ootha. She also nearly missed a staff change on this run, at Menindee, but luckily the guard caught the staff in the brake van.
This run was acheived not by the second tender or mid rail water troughs of the united kingdom, but with a Australian method. 2 special tanker wagons, known as Gins (no tonics involved either) coupled behind a support coach which in turn was behind the loco, and the water could be pumped freely through into the tender, while not all the water was used, better safe than sorry.
Fact: Scotsman was fitted with a lower tone whistle to suit our requirements and air brakes.
Loved the video Will, interesting to see her in black, while some of her fame comes from her LNER livery.
I would definitively get her DCC fitted if I were you, such a beautiful model to leave DC :P
Wow the Flying Scotsman looks so much nicer in black than in green!
I think so too! But it's a personal thing, of course.
hey Will I know you are busy but maby for christmas special could you do a video of the main layout :)
up until 8:37 im like "JUST OPEN THE BOX FOR GOD SAKE"
I absolutely LOVE the black wartime livery
The sprung buffers can look great if you drive the train into rail end buffers.
Will, during WWII Flying Scotsman, along with some of the fleet that wasn't put in storage (A4 Pacifics) regularly were seen on freight to aid the war effort
Great looking model
Isn't she just!
Oh and also is there anything on the smoke deflectors on hornby's website or on a forum/website on google?
Great review, I love my railroad Scotsman, considering you taken the plunge ( like Percy) with Scotsman will you get a mallard?
Very nice will hope you have a grand Christmas :-)
thank you! You have a great Christmas too!
+InterCity82 you've got loads of trains and we've got CR(colodien belle), LMS, intercity, mallard ,little giant and a virgin voyager (all horby 00 gauge ). (just saying your epic :-) )
Can't believe he's STILL being overhauled IRL.
The little things around the smokebox are oil pots, they are for topping up and feeding oil the where its needed, for example the motion. Great vid, Will!
Ahhh right! Thanks for the comment!
Not a problem.
stunning loco wouldn't mind getting one
Did you ever get the smoke deflectors on? If so, How did you do it in the end? I'm thinking of getting this or waiting for the apple green version to be released that is currently on the website
Thats beautiful that, even though Im not the biggest fan of the Scotsman that really is something! great review Will. Those gold boxes are oiling points. The real thing the paintwork was done by Heritage Painting from Bury, Manchester. Its being overhauled by one of the best railway mechanical engineers in modern day Ian Riley who owns Black 5s 44871 & 45407 both based on the East Lancs Railway when not on the mainline.
Great vid as per. Any news on n-gauge project progress?
Are the smoke deflector instructions on the back of the alternative wheel instructions?
nice!!! flying scotsman very fast!!! 100MPH!!
good video!!!
IC82 the Flying Scotsman looks great in Wartime black and pulling the Pullman coaches.
Great video I've got 3 flying Scotsman 1 is a special nrm model
great review, superb loco, I wasn't able to get to railfest..... but I did see her for the first time at the NRM in the work shops surprisingly her tender was still sporting the wartime black..... hope to see her on the mainline sometime though :D:D:D:D
edit: about the City of Truro, being a western fan i think that did 100 first...................... :P
Hello Will. At what website do i need to visit to view your main layout? Thank you. Oliver.
I went to the SVR event but I prefer staying at home and controlling my very own layout and flying scotsman
i think the deflector sort of wedges on over the sides of the smoke box?
The model Is stuning
Another brilliant Review you have done in the IC82 Series 4 Review Series InterCity82 .. Well done. I loved this Locomotive. Covered in detail and looked so smart in this NE Black Livery. I think though you still need to get a Hornby RailRoad LNER 4-6-2 'Flying Scotsman' A1 Class Locomotive in LNER Apple Green Livery too. I think for your first Flying Scotsman in your fleet to get this one was not a bad choice, but choice I personally would not get for my first Flying Scotsman Locomotive. Even if you get theHornby RailRoad LNER 4-6-2 'Flying Scotsman' A1 Class Locomotive in LNER Apple Green Livery will be fine, but I am sure it will not have as much detail as this one, but still have stuff like separate handrails, sprung buffers, etc. Still you cannot rate this Locomotive down for not being in LNER Apple Green Livery. Also it would be a good idea to get x3 Hornby RailRoad R 4332 LNER Teak Composite Coach and x1 Hornby RailRoad R 4333 LNER Teak Brake Coach to go with both Flying Scotsman's (That's if you get the Hornby RailRoad LNER 4-6-2 'Flying Scotsman' A1 Class Locomotive in LNER Apple Green Livery).
lol thanks for the comment!
That's OK InterCity82 .
Brilliant video. I didn't see any Flying Scotsman models when I went to Railfest, and I went 3 days into the event. I can only assume that they had already sold out by then. Regarding rolling stock, since the model is depicted in her current guise, perhaps she could get away with hauling some maroon BR mark 1's? Alot of rail-tours still use these IIRC.
Did you ever fit the smoke deflectors?
I still want one.
Love this engine
I love it.
Could you do the original locomotive rather than in wartime black. Please you don't have too, I'm just wondering. And the original had no smoke deflectors and it was in apple green.
I got the Hornby Railways Flying Scotsman when I was a kid and because I will be getting a new layout soon, I decided to get a new model of the Flying Scotsman and what better model then the NRM exclusive. I got her in LNER apple green livery because I like her in that livery. Your model looks good too don't get me wrong, but I think the Flying Scotsman is better in green.
How long before we see your proper layout :P Awesome review as always :)
The point of sprung buffers is: if you hit a coach or a truck too hard it will cushion the impact a bit
It really is a great loco. When do we get to see your proper oo gauge layout?
When are you going to upload part 5 of your N scale train layout?
she wasnt done that way for Railfest, the Scotsman weekend the previous year she was revealed. and with no smoke deflectors! the smoke deflectors that were on her at railfest i felt spoilt the image. but each to their own. she did look absolutley stunning on both occations. but at the scotsman weekend she was all together.
will that detail is the thing for oil
I have the Brown Jack version, in BR green, which is one of the nicest looking locos ever.
I wouldn't mind this one though. The black livery looks so Darth Vader.
what you need to do on the tender coupling is change it to a knuckle coupler as that is what they had on the tender rear of the corridor tenders with the gresley a1, a3 & a4's
I like Flying Scotsman in Apple green but the wartime black looks like it shows off the detail better
Great review as always :) Although the Flying Scotsman actually ran the longest non-stop journey in Australia.
Well, she holds the record for running in the UK too then.
InterCity82 no, thats when before the railway were Nationalize
InterCity82
AWESOME
thanks!
Btw the gold detail around the smokebox is oiling pots for the inside cylinder motionwork
Oh right! Thanks for that.
I'd love to get an Hornby A3, but like you have been avoiding the Scotsman for much the same for the same reasons. Great review mate
is it me, or does the name plate say flyinc scotsman?
please correct me if wrong
Will, could we ever see this model (and others) on your proper layout. Please let me know as soon as you can
its a really cool loco
The little brass fittings on the running boards are lubrication points.
Hey, when are we going to find out more about the layout upstairs? You keep saying soon but you haven't said when.
I think the hols for the deflectors are self drilled, not sure though.
I love it
The story behind the naming of Flying Scotsman is quite complicated. In 1924 There were 5 A-3s completed. The British Empire Exhibition At Wembley in 1924-1925 Wanted engines from The Big Four companys. The GWR Sent a castle and the LNER sent 4472. But they decided to name it before sending it. And so No.4472 FlyingScotsman was named :P
and the story behind the corridor tender is weird but here it is... Gresley had to think of a way for a driver and fireman to get between the coaches and the train and to do that he arranged a few chairs (in his dining room) and crawled through them , as he was crawling through one of hid daughters walked in the door , his daughter was really confused so she called the men in white coats but luckily they where delayed. thats the story of the corridor tender ,its kinda funny if you think about it
I went to the NRM in 2004 aged 5, in the hope to see it in steam. instead I saw some frames with the nameplate on it. skip 10 years... In July 2013 now aged 15 I went back to the NRM only to see the Scotsman still partially in bits with a class 20 in front of it. But it is a great Model
Regarding the smoke deflector installation, usually the manufacturer will have indentations on the inside of the body shell that you have to drill out, from the inside, should you so choose. I say this regarding HO scale, North American models, but China is China, so that's probably what Hornby would do if they are made in China. I've never had a OO or Hornby, so we can only hope.
Will I think you'll find the record run in the late 1980's was not done in the UK from London to Scotland but indeed from Melbourne to alias springs in Australia.
I have a Flying Scotsman. But it dosn't work, mainly because it is by Tri-ang and is very old. However, I hope to get the new hornby train set on it very soon.
I like to take tiny chains and hook up the cars together like my fad did on thoose tiny hook that arent on the coupler it toe brings off the reality to me I like seeing the buffer go in and out thats what she said when they bump into each other slightly realy realistic
did flying scotsman had a double chimey in wartime black? in the 1940's
this is the actual livery that Flying Scotsman will be painted in when her repairs are done at the NRM at York.
Personally, it's my favourite.
InterCity82 . I take it cause it reminds you of the Black 5s & 8Fs?
well done
Yep the first steam locomotive to run at 100 mph and kept the travel time from London to Edinburgh to under 8 hours and then the Deltic aka Class 55 would reduce that to 6 hrs
It hurts that I can't find this for sale any where online
The LNER is the best railway out of the big 4
When is part 5 of the N gauge project?
