60103 Flying Scotsman doing 100mph!

Just a little bit of fun. Did a couple of (rough) calculations and worked out that this is how 'Flying Scotsman' would be like if she was doing 100mph in steam days.
The locations included are Crofton, Pilning, Melton Mowbray and Charfield. I hope you like the video.

To see her still run at 100mph after all these years is amazing

My Grandparents neighbor was an engineer on the flying Scotsman and when I was 4 he arranged for it to stop for my Mum and myself in the village where we lived.

That must have been the most incredible thing to see back when those trains were new.

"Gordon thunders down the lane" 😎

[@bootnreboot7456]

change the playback speed in the settings to 2 and it goes by at 200 MPH...lol ;-)))

And one day in 1934 she actually did...

Just seeing how fast the pistons are moving the coupling rods on this beautiful machine. Such an amazing design~

Scotsman: I went a hundred miles an hour, and I can do it again! If only my whistle would stop squeaking

[@Raul1971xxx]

100 Miles per hour.. 160 Kilometres per hour. For a steam locomotive, that is fast.

[@User-3O3]

That is literally the fastest a Class 47 has ever gone.

Man, imagine stopping at a grade crossing and then seeing this magnificent beast whiz along the tracks.

[@gaz3097]

What a beautiful relic of a bygone age.

The reserve diesel hanging on by it's fingernails at the back raises a smile!

[@deanehill9730]

Had the privilege of riding on it when it was here in Australia in the mid eighties. Certainly an unforgettable experience. Magnificent piece of machinery.

[@lspdunit234]

After all of those years , this old piece of art still manages to fly off the rails like more Morden locomotives these days

[@philiphowell1505]

lets not forget the permanant way lads , the endless carriage volunteers , and every one else who keeps this marvel alive , i salute you all .

[@Uno_611]

whistle before: very nice!

[@ramrjamr97]

As a big papyrus fan, I’m happy to support his brother on a day like this. Happy birthday Scotsman.

I used to see this loco many times back in the 1950s & 60s going through Doncaster at high speed but never like this, it's a credit to all the staff who maintain these beautiful locos and many thanks for showing this video.

For the 100th anniversary in 2023 there needs to be a celebratory 100mph run
