Fully Restored. It also has a 3rd cylinder between the frames - an English practice to get more power from a compact design [see 2nd photo]. American locomotives mostly did not mount cylinders "inside". The big Union Pacific 4-12-2 had a third cylinder though. [4th photo]
The
return of the Flying Scotsman

U.P 9000 class 4-12-2 in LIONEL SIZE! [What? 18" long?] Rare American loco with 3 Cylinders.
Flying Scotsman model parts used to be avail. in various scales, Maybe still are; Here is the Royal Scot model in 5" gauge live steam. Even as toys they are still FAST race horses! They fly down the track no matter what scale.
HO scale; Electric toy train version. I`ve got an oval track board for running this scale at home.
