Gresley walks you through the history of the locomotive, from its first PR outing at the Empire Exhibition in Wembley Park in 1924 to its current incarnation as a restored and still working engine.<\/p>\n

There’s also a model-railway-style glimpse of the locomotive’s ill-fated tour of 1960s America, showing how British Rail’s Flying Scotsman was markedly different from the 1920s original.<\/p>\n

You’re also miniaturised to fly through the locomotive’s insides, learning about steam power as you progress through the red-hot boiler and the engine’s firebox.<\/p>\n

Vibrating panels, heat lamps and wind-mimicking fans provide multi-sensory stimulation as you spin gently through the virtual world.It took the best part of a year for Figment and partner company to bring this world to life.<\/p>\n

The most thrilling part of the experience is a faithful recreation of a alongside a speedboat and a de Havilland Puss Moth monoplane.A pigeon swoops perilously close to your head, EVDeN eve nAKliYAT<\/a> and you instinctively lean out of its way. (This speed trial is based on an actual race, captured on a Path\u00e9 film, one of the many period PR stunts that LNER arranged to promote its thrusting rail service along the East Coast Main Line.)<\/p>\n
