The Flying Scotsman Story by James S Baldwin

Few locomotives are as widely known or excite so much interest as Flying Scotsman. Thus began Flying Scotsmans fame, which only continued as the locomotive broke records, becoming the first to exceed 100mph in 1934 and taking the longest journey of any steam locomotive in 198889.
JAMES S. BALDWIN is an ambassador of Mail Rail and helped to set up the museum, where he has been a consultant for the past five years. He has been a keen historian and industrial archaeologist since his school days, and is particularly passionate about the history of railways. Considered to be the expert on all things Flying Scotsman, he wrote The Flying Scotsman Story and Flying Scotsman: The Most Famous Locomotive in the World for The History Press. A freelance professional broadcast TV film maker and author working for BBC, ITN, Channel 4 and Sky, he lives in London.
