Green Arrow: The Ultimate Guide to Gresley's 'Sawn-off Flying Scotsman' | Curator with a Camera

You asked for it! Get ready for one of our most in-depth tours yet as Anthony Coulls gives you the lowdown on Green Arrow, the so-called 'sawn-off Scotsman' which is both the first example of a V2 Class locomotive to be produced and the sole surviving example of its type.

In this bumper edition of Curator with a Camera filmed at the Danum Gallery, Library and Museum in Doncaster, Anthony explores this beautiful locomotive in great detail to satisfy the many, many requests we've had to feature it.
