No, this isn't something from the archives of Olympus, this is a very modern piece of photographic kit – the Olympus E-P1 Micro Four Thirds camera.

What's that you ask? Well, it's a new type of camera, sitting somewhere between a compact camera and a pro-friendly digital SLR – offering the lightness and portability of the former and the high-end features of the latter. The result is something that offers top-notch images without adding weight to your bag, throwing in some retro style as a much-appreciated added bonus.

In 1928, the Flying Scotsman first ran non-stop between London and Edinburgh, so we can only presume that it was for the 80th anniversary of this event that this Flying Scotsman Washbag was released.

The exterior of the bag is adorned with vintage advertisements for the steam train, whilst the interior is practical with pockets for organising your toiletries.

It costs just under £30 and can be bought online from Tree House Blue.
