Flying Scotsman, Silver Link, Mallard, Blue Peter; ‘The Plant’ as Doncaster’s railway workshops were known, produced many of Britain’s finest, fastest and most-famous steam locomotives, many named after the racehorses which were synonymous with the town.

This is the story of the town’s railways and its locomotives, from the opening of the first line, up to the present day.
