The Flying Scotsman is considered by many to be the most famous locomotive in the world.
The iconic locomotive was built in 1923 and designed by Sir Nigel Gresley.
It was built at the Doncaster Works and cost £7,944 at the time.
It was officially the first locomotive to reach speeds of 100 mph and the first to travel around the world.
The train is also the world record holder for the non-stop run on a steam locomotive, a record set in 1989 with a journey of 442 miles.
