When I was a kid and getting into railway modelling the realisation that my Nan's phone number was 4472 was pretty neat!

I really hope that the Flying Scotsman has a very very good 100th birthday. I've even been working over the last couple of months making a drawing for the 100th birthday of the locomotive. but my drawing will never compare to the original and the Amazing Legacy it already has. and let's hope it continues for another hundred years. Long live the Flying Scotsman!

I caught the railway bug in 1969 when my dad took me to see her at Tyseley. I was 5 and got to stand on the footplate. It must have been just before her American adventure. I’ve been in love ❤ ever since.

To everybody that has kept flying Scotsman alive for 100 years. Thank you so much!to everybody from at Riley and son to the National Railway Museum Alan pegler William McAlpine and Tony Marchington and everybody that has contributed to Flying Scotsman’s purchase, and to it heavy overhaul thanks to all of you the peoples engine is still with us today and still bringing smiles to hundreds of people even though I have never seen 4472 in person unfortunately, she is still one of my favorite steam locomotive of all time! Happy birthday flying Scotsman!

February 24th is her 100th Birthday. It feels right that she should be sent to Doncaster on the 23rd, stay overnight in the remaining part of the works and on February 24th, she should steam out of the works slowly to reenact her first day on the LNER back in February of 1923.
Happy early birthday 4472, as a American I am proud to say you are the most beautiful Pacific ever to grace the rails.
