This lovely cover celebrates the 85th anniversary of perhaps Britain's best loved locomotive The Flying Scotsman.

As with most of our railway covers, this is a limited edition of just 500. It is part of our official railway series.

The wonderful image is courtesy of Jim Barr, an avid railway photographer, and was taken in 1987 when she was still running.

The cover uses a stamp from our exclusive Cuneo stamp sheet, postmarked on the anniversary date at York, home of Flying Scotsman today.

The Flying Scotsman has had a very turbulent history. After being the darling of the public, she was nearly scrapped when British Rail abandoned steam traction. There were two trips abroad a few liquidations and some restorations before she was brought for the nation! She now resides at the NRM where she is being restored.

It pays to book Buckingham Railway covers pre-release because prices rise after issue and they often sell out.

This cover was automatically reserved for members of our Railway Cover Club.
