Great video. The recording of Joseph Duddington's recollection of his record-breaking run was inspired, and reminds us that although we are only custodians of these magnificent machines, they will last for generations to come...
B747 SP they keep her restored and they don’t want to damage her new coupling rods and new boiler she will be fired up in about 2022 when all the surviving a4s will warm up and all be shunted to Doncaster and so they can do a service from Doncaster to Kings cross thank you for reading the message if you feel like it
@@qwerty_key_board it's boiler certificate ended when it was last operational. Would need a full overhaul to be able to run again. But as there's at least 2 that can run subject to overhauls mallard is a museum piece.
@@ldd5 It's only cosmetically restored. Mechanically and boiler wise it needs a full overhaul. Also the 2022 thing isn't true. Not sure where you read that from. Slim possibility it might run for the 100th anniversary of its record but not before
I had my picture taken in front of the Sir Nigel Grestley with my family when it was in the Carnforth Railway Museum a very long time ago now...that was a fun day out! Got to experience a ride in a steam train for the very first time, before going to the Isle of Man, many years later, and travelling to Port Erin on their steam railway. Ah, the romance of steam...
Joe Duddington was 61 when he set this record. Listen to the reverence with which he talks about 'his' engine. At this time (1938) engine drivers were like rock stars to young people. Joe Duddington was an excellent driver who was known to take calculated risks. If they hadn't had to stop at Cheltenham on their record breaking attempt, due to line repairs, Duddington reckons he would have taken this engine up to 130 mph- and I believe him. Go and see her at York- truly beautiful machine.
We were so lucky to have seen all ,34 of them in the 50,s in that beautiful green My mate and I were allowed on the footplate of Mallard on Peterborough station and on another occasion while ,60022 was on shed we squeezed through the corridor tender . Happy days .
I used to train spot on Northallerton station with my brothers in the early 1960s and the A4s would come hammering through. You could see them two miles away coming from the South absolutely silent, but shifting from side to side on the track as they came towards you in a way that was quite disturbing to observe. Then the station staff would order us lads well back from the edge of the platform and a few seconds later it would charge through at between 90 and 100 MPH and for a second the noise just overwhelmed you as the stations were quite enclosed back then. You never forget it. I must have been no more than eight or nine years old.
If you want more A4s. Then build them. You are already building a Clan and a P2. Also the 126 mph run cost the burning out of centre cyclinder. Expensive to repair
Nothing with so much class in trains the Art Dec-co trains stream liners 1937- 1950s 128 MPH, The Coronation had a history in the US war broke out and the train was stranded in a USA tour then sent back to England to help the British war efforts and sent in a convoy to England in 1942. Another love Is the blue goose with matching car set by Lionel was the prettiest train I had ever seen other than Henry Ford Big Boy Run on his private line from Toledo,Ohio To Detroit little over 50 miles. The Big Boy in The Henry Ford Museum. It is pristine as it was built an awesome sight to see it in person. When I was 5 years old My dad bought a fantastic set a Lionel Big Boy smoke lights working crossing and self loading cattle car. Today be worth a lot of money. I had thatfor 20 years my brother sold it, Made me very mad.I filled the house with track all one military foot locker would hold.
It is interesting that 'trainwatching" was such great pass time in the UK while in USA we had no such interests. I remember riding a CNW streamliner from Chicago to Ishpeming, Michigan in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan...Oh well :)
They are stunning I just wish I was there. Also I think they should have made mallard Dwight d einsenhower and dominion of Canada give an effect like they were steamed like a smoke machine or filled with coal or giving of steam effect.

A Stock Trains and also having 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it more Larger and extend it to the bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Railway tunnel into a High-Speed Railway lines? The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Railway line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. Then put the modernised 11 car per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden.

Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly Line and also build brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street can they also make another brand new underground train station in Chingford and could they extend the Piccadilly Line and the DLR right up to Chingford? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains.

hell yes that would be bloody amazing. But she will never return to steam sadly. Mallard was restored to operating condition in the 1980's, but she was never returned to mainline running, however she has been moved to and from her home base at the National Railway Museum in York, to other locations for static displays, the most recent time she was out of her home base was for the Launch of the Azuma trainsets at the York station in July 2019. The last time 4468 was under steam was in 1988 when she hauled the "Postal Pullman" from London Marylebone to Banbury.

This Beethoven composition is the best theme for the A4s
Combine the a4s together and you've created a monster.

Didn't they stretch the boiler by screwing the safety valves down? She was never the same.
Correction: a PAIR of P2s and a Clan named "Hengist".
It went to the works after its record run so any damaged would have been repaired so that argument is pointless
The 6 remaining A4s are beautiful. I'm glad I worked on the Railway & worked trains hauled by 60009 as Osprey & Union of South Africa.
