Flying Scotsman/Behind the Scenes

Gauge 1 model
Flying Scotsman was originally intended to have a larger role in Tender Engines but due to budgetary constraints, the modelling crew could not afford to build the entire engine.

When the episode was filmed, only Flying Scotsman's two tenders were seen peering outside of the Knapford Harbour station. The tenders were scratch-built to fit Gauge 1 track. In addition, the both of his tenders had coal bunkers, whereas in real life, the rear tender only carried water. These tenders also lacked corridors. After the events of the third season, the tenders was placed into storage.

CGI model
In 2009, the series introduced Computer-Generated Imagery (CGI) as a replacement for the show's long-standing live-action models. In 2016, Flying Scotsman was created in CGI by Arc Productions.

Flying Scotsman had some differences/modifications between his real life form and his CGI form. These include:
 * His face is a modified version of Gordon's, with larger eyebrows and a slightly different nose.
 * He received smoke deflectors, a double chimney and his number on both his cab and second tender, a combination he has never had in real life. He can also extend his smoke deflectors.
 * He has six wheels on his tenders instead of eight and the corridors are still lacking. He also has "Fowler" tender-shaped lining on his LNER tenders.
 * His bufferbeam is larger and the lining on it and his running plate is absent.
 * His boiler and smokebox is larger.
 * He has the same whistle sound as Neville.
