Taking pride of place was LNER A3 Pacific 4472 Flying Scotsman.  Built in 1923, the locomotive was the third pacific to be built by the then newly formed London and North Eastern Railway and was the first to carry its famous apple green livery.  In 1928, Flying Scotsman was fitted with a unique corridor tender to enable it to haul the first non-stop train from King's Cross to Edinburgh on 1st May - the longest non-stop run in the world.

Stirling Single No 1 is one of the prize exhibits in the collection of the National Railway Museum, and is the sole surviving Patrick Stirling designed locomotive - and the oldest built at Doncaster.

Stirling believed that big wheels gave a better grip on the rail, so the batch of 53 "Stirling Singles" were designed with 8 foot driving wheels.

Also present was LNER loco Green Arrow, currently in its British Railways guise as 60800.  Built in Doncaster in 1936, the loco enjoyed a long life hauling a variety of passenger and freight diagrams.  It is currently preserved at the National Railway Museum, but has certification for mainline running.

Moving to diesel locos, and the most famous were the 22 members of the Class 55s - known as Deltics.  The class were often seen at Doncaster Works for maintenance and it was fitting that 3 of the 6 preserved examples were present at the weekend.  Here, Deltic Preservation Society's Mike Hallam-Rudd is being interviewed by Nova's Andrew White in front of D9006 Alycidon.

The only survivor of the 40 Doncaster-built Class 85s - 85 101 was named "Doncaster Plant 150 1853-2003" on the Sunday of the weekend.
