No.4472 Flying Scotsman, as it currently exists today. A striking Gresley Pacific, and the only surviving member of its class, this locomotive was obtained in May of 2010 as a classic example of fine British steam. Strong and powerful, its fine form is represented well here, with its iconic profile being displayed in this photograph.

The side-view of the locomotive, showing the profile of this distinctive locomotive further. Though in some ways it is rather basic, in others it is well-detailed and well-done indeed.

A closer look at the smokebox and mechanism on this locomotive - purely Gresley looks, with purely Gresley performance. Though some detail is lower, like the molded-on bits, others like the plates on the smokebox are well-done and are clearly legible. The valve-gear itself is fine, but solid enough to do the job well.

The name of the iconic locomotive is clear on the sides, outlining the significance of this engine.

The cab sides, giving further evidence as to the significance of this famous engine and its legendary status. Details abound here and inside the cab, though no detail is painted - possibly filthy from years of use, though the outside shows nothing of the sort.

The tender and rear of the entire locomotive, showing off the LNER corridor tender, the sprung buffers, the detail on the axleboxes and the strength of this engine from any angle. One downside of this particular engine is that it is a tender-driven locomotive - which can play havoc with the way the drive wheels on the locomotive turn at times.

The front of the locomotive. Again, this is truly a stunning locomotive - no matter what type of layout you run, if you model British you need No.4472 and/or No.4468 - the two famous Gresley legends. This is an exceptional locomotive in terms of performance, and though the tender-driven mechanism drains the locomotive's realism slightly its looks are still very striking.
