  • Ben Collier's video sequence of 'The line up' at York Railway Museum on Saturday 05.07.08 (costing £32.50 per person to attend) of '4' A4's after 60007 had just arrived from London with it's train and later 60009 was to head north from York to Edinburgh with the train but unfortunately it failed at Tyne Yard before Newcastle and had to carry on diesel hauled before 60007 was to be sent up Sunday morning light engine to join the diesel hauled train for the return at Tyne Yard.
    This is the first time for years and years that all the A4's lined up and the first time Mallard has emerged out the museum for over 20 years.
    Witness them all whistling as 60009 works past them on the mainline as it heads north. Of course the legendary Mallard in the foreground wasn't whistling but the spectacle was defining and spine tingling Chime Whistles galore! Saturday 05.07.08

    South Africa: "I'm off. See you later!"

      mallard is actually in non operational( in other words, the boiler hasn't been inspected and therefore, does not have a valid boiler ticket)

      They dragged her out of retirement in 1988 for the fiftieth anniversary of the record run, and she ran almost in original condition. I'm sure she COULD be put back into working order just to get a few miles on her. And surely electronic systems could be mounted in the support coach so as 4468's originality would remain.

    Mallard: You guys are lucky to be in working condition -_-
    Union of south africa: Don’t worry one day you will run again, not sure when but one day
    Sir Nigel: She is right, you will one day be given another chance to be in working order for now they just need to figure out how much it will cost and what parts you need
    Bittern: their both right, someday you will be able to in working condition like us and maybe be they’ll have you run at 90mph like I did on the 75th anniversary
    Mallard: I hope so, and I hope you guys are right too

    Hi there. The A4's were the main engines to have chime whistles but Oliver Cromwell which you heard is fitted with one as well. This being the Brit class as Britania also has the same whistle. As well as the week sounding LNER Whistle that Tornado has which sounds the same as Green Arrow's watery whistle, Tornado is also fitted with a chime Whistle but you can't beat the classic A4 sound. Glad you like the video. Cheers, Ben Collier.

  • @DanM012324

    Very very good video! The A4's look stunning as usual. Seems a bit sad though that the other three were in steam and Mallard is just stood there lifeless and cold. The NRM really do need to restore her to mainline condition. I was up at NRM on sunday and they said that once they finished the Flying scotsman they could possibly restore Mallard if they had enough money. Lets hope they do it!!

For example too, I also love Big Boy locomotives, and Pennsylvania K4 pacifics they are beautiful :)

I had never even heard of an A4 until I went to the museum where Dwight is kept and I was so amazed at. Now, my ultimate favorite train is the A4 Pacific. It's what got me into railways and model trains.

    I say Mallard should remain in the museum as an example of an A4 to be kept in tiptop condition whilst the others can spread the joy round the network. Running locomotives on the mainline tires them out. Bits need replaced. Eventually those still running will have no original parts. Do you want to see that happen to Mallard?

    I agree that Mallard should remain static, as the official preserved one, which will allow the others to keep on going without so much worry over the preservation/replica argument. I think the two overseas can remain there, we've got four as it is!

    It feels incomplete without Mallard whistling at the very least. It was her anniversary, wasn't it? She should've been pulling that train!
    Still, that aside, Union of South Africa, Sir Nigel Gresley and Bittern singing. Proof that the A4s are still going strong!

    not quite true, she did do some special trips back in 1988, video of which can be found elsewhere on YT.
    It's unlikely to be in steam again, as the boiler would need to be re-certified for safety reasons, which would cost much moolah!

    @CGiordano464: All except Mallard, who was brought outside for the first time since becoming a museum piece for this event.

    I feel so sorry for Bittern. Her whistle sounds so off!
