THE Flying Scotsman took pride of place at the National Railway Museum in York to help celebrate the latest stage in the museum’s redevelopment.
It joined the Class 88 locomotive Prometheus and Britain’s first “Hyperloop” prototype developed at Edinburgh University.
The revolutionary Hyperloop technology could see passenger pods travelling inside near-vacuum tubes at speeds of up to 650 mph.
Museum boss Judith McNicol said: “We will be radically reimagining the Great Hall to tell the epic story of how railways have changed the world and how modern science and engineering continue to transform the railways.”
