History

Completed in February 1923, ‘Flying Scotsman’ entered traffic in LNER apple green with the GNR number 1472, the first of six numbers it would carry during its lifetime. It soon received the number it is best known for, 4472, and was painted plain black in April 1943.

Renumbered 502 in January 1946, just four months later this was changed to 103, before emerging from its rebuild as an ‘A3’ in apple green livery in January 1947. It then became E103 under BR in March 1948, before receiving its final number, 60103, in December 1948. A year later it was painted BR blue, and then into its final colour scheme of BR lined green in March 1952.
