flying scotsman train set

Post by bignose27 »

I've got the Hornby train set Flying Scotsman R1167 and I would like to know more information about this particular flying Scotsman because it has a corridor tender I can place it between April 1928 to Oct 1936 I was wondering about what services it did between those times including the flying scotsman service also what coaches it pulled for those service (type of coach, how many coaches, And order of coaches) can anyone help please. https://www.lner.info/forums/download/f ... w&id=19462

Hi Bignose27
Welcome to the forum. This is a fairly common query to be honest and there are some older conversations on it listed here:

Principally A1 locomotives such as yours would see action on all the major expresses out of their shed and back, Flying Scotsman did run The Flying Scotsman service and other expresses to the North or Scotland but not always through to the end and invariably not non-stop. This book detailed below looks like it could be very useful to you (and many others including myself):

Good luck and happy modelling.
