COBI® Flying Scotsman - British Steam Locomotive

Build a model of the Flying Scotsman – the most famous British steam locomotive and an icon of world railways! This unique model from COBI is a real pleasure for both adult collectors and younger technology enthusiasts.

In 1924, a locomotive of the A1 class with the number 4472 left the depot in Doncaster. Designed by the outstanding engineer Nigel Gresley, the Flying Scotsman quickly gained fame for its then unprecedented efficiency. This steam locomotive became the first in the world to officially reach a speed of 100 miles per hour (160.9 km/h) and became a symbol of Britain's technological power.

In 1934, it traveled the entire route between London and Edinburgh (632 km) without stopping and participated in international tours through the USA, Canada, and Australia in the following decades.

Despite the difficult times of the Second World War and changes in the railway industry, the Flying Scotsman survived, was restored, and continues to serve today as a traveling museum. In 2023, it celebrated its 100th anniversary as an active and fully functional steam locomotive – a national cultural heritage of Britain, a symbol of the steam age and the triumph of engineering.

Don't wait – build your own version of the Flying Scotsman with COBI bricks! This is an excellent offer for both younger railway enthusiasts and adult model collectors!
