Flying Scotsman: The Extraordinary Story of the Worlds Most Famous Train

---

Very highly recommended, a gripping true life story, unputdownable. And now for a story of my own: On a train leaving Birmingham New Street, a woman spotted me with this book. Turns out she's the daughter of George Hinchcliffe - tour manager for Pegler and then McAlpine, and insisted on showing her grandaughter Grandad Hinchcliffe's name in the book. Then told us all about Alan Pegler's funeral finishing with not a dry eye in the church Aug 31, Robert Hepple rated it liked it.

Things get a lot more interesting when the book discusses the succession of private ownerships, but often seems to gloss over some of the more questionable ways in which it was managed financially. Enjoyable, if too brief.

Through many trials and tribulations, Flying Scotsman captured the hearts of many. The excellent book was written as the current restoration was just beginning nearly 10 years ago. The author was not to know what a mammoth project it was to be, but thankfully the locomotive is being returned to steam as we speak.
