Description Build a model of the Flying Scotsman steam locomotive - a symbol of British engineering - and embark on a journey into the age of steam! Build a model of the Flying Scotsman - the most famous British steam locomotive and an icon of world railroads! This unique model from COBI is a real treat for both adult collectors and younger technology fans. In 1923, a class A1 locomotive left the factory in Doncaster. Designed by renowned engineer Nigel Gresley, the Flying Scotsman quickly became famous for its exceptional performance at the time. The locomotive holds two records for steam propulsion - on November 30, 1934, it was the first to officially reach a speed of 100 mph (160.9 km/h), and on August 8, 1989, it covered 679 km without stopping during a visit to Australia. Despite the difficult times of World War II and the changes in the railroad industry, the Flying Scotsman survived, was restored and still serves as a traveling museum today. In 2023, it celebrated its 100th anniversary as an active and fully operational steam locomotive - a British national treasure, a symbol of the age of steam and the triumph of engineering. Don't wait - build your own version of the Flying Scotsman with COBI building blocks! This is an excellent offer for both younger train enthusiasts and adult model collectors!
