Which famous steam locomotive carried the number 60103 when it was withdrawn by British Railways?
In 1962, British Railways announced that it would scrap Flying Scotsman. Number 60103 ended service with its last scheduled run on 14 January 1963. Proposed to be saved by a group called "Save Our Scotsman", they were unable to raise the required £3,000, the scrap value of the locomotive.
After a national campaign the Flying Scotsman was bought in April 2004 by the National Railway Museum in York, and it is now part of the museum's National Collection.
