- Lot Description
John Swatsley (American, B. 1937) "Flying Scotsman Locomotive" Signed lower right. Oil on Illustration Board. Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.
This painting was originally published on the Fleetwood Mint Stamps of the World Panel for St. Lucia Locomotives Stamps issued October 13, 1983.
Throughout her long career, the London and North Eastern Railway engine known as the Flying Scotsman set many railway records ... and was a pioneering force in the development and progress of the railroad throughout Europe. Each and every morning, for 121 years, the Flying Scotsman would leave Kings Cross at exactly 10:00 a.m. on her 292 mile trip to Edinburgh ... the only British express which can claim such a remarkably reliable departure time. Early in her career, the Flying Scotsman could make her 292 mile express trip in 29 1/2 hours. However, some one-hundred years later -- and after several modifications -- she would set new records by making the same trip in well under six hours. Aside from her remarkable increases in speed, this same locomotive is credited with regularly making the longest non-stop run in the world -- her daily 292 mile express trip from Kings Cross to Edinburgh. During one particularly rainy year, many bridges were washed out by floods. To reach her destination, the Flying Scotsman took detours and increased her non-stop route to an incredible 408 miles ... perhaps the longest non-stop express in the history of railroads. To accommodate the passengers and crew during these long, arduous trips, the Flying Scotsman was equipped with elegant dining cars and comfortable sleeping cars.
