On German eBay a seller had this locomotive which he called "A large Hornby 0 gauge locomotive"(Große Hornby Spur 0 Lokomotive 4472). Of course it is not Hornby but Bassett-Lowke, but the Bassett-Lowke buyers did not came along, so I bought it. It is a lithographed Bassett-Lowke Flying Scotsman 4-6-2 pacific with running number 4472. Bassett-Lowke made these in the thirties in clockwork and electric; the electric ones were also in the postwar catalog. This is about the most scale clockwork locomotive you can get, but is is tinplate.

There is a corridor connection to the first car of the train; the crew could be changed during the long non-stop run between London and the North.

AH, the Flying Scotsman, and a Bassett-Lowke - what a find!
