Video 125 Ltd. The Flying Scotsman - Running the Legend

It is arguably the most famous steam engine in the world and at it’s new home, the National Railway Museum in York, they’re getting the veteran loco ready for a summer season of excursions to the seaside; York to Scarborough

Running the Legend offers a fascinating look behind the scenes, as the museum’s engineers race to get the engine tested and certified in time for it’s trips. We then join the footplate crew, former owners and Scotsman drivers, on a journey of nostalgia through the pastoral Yorkshire countryside.

With exclusive footplate access, evocative archive film and stunning aerial photography, Running the Legend is a treat to behold.
First shown on Yorkshire ITV in 2005.
