On 3 July 1938, the A4 class locomotive Mallard raced down Stoke Bank at 126mph to set a new steam locomotive world speed record - 75 years later, the National Railway Museum has been been marking the 75th anniversary of this with a series of commemorative events.
The finale was 'The Great Goodbye', held at Shildon in County Durham. This was the last time to see all 6 surviving A4s together, before 'Dominion of Canada' and 'Dwight D. Eisenhower' returned to their homes in Canada and the United States.
I was extremely lucky to get tickets to one of the evening photography sessions, and took this video. I hope you like it.
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...
It would be cool if all 6 of the A4's were fired up that day.
Not all can be fired up
The Mallard can't be fired up. I heard that until 1980's, Mallard was still operational. But idk why but it can't be fired up nowadays.
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...
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
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
Pardon the comment...
All six surviving A4's together... This is strong LNER pornography... It's that beautiful...
Jim van der Kolk really. You had to ruin it?
Yes it is
Yes it is beautiful

Beautiful iconic design. Almost steampunk
Magnificent!
Well at least they arent scrap

Nooo are they getting scraped nooo that can’t happen too all the A4s 😢😢😢😢😢😱😱😱😱😱
Matthew Giang no they aren’t
Why would they, do you have the mind of a goat?
omg thomas the tank engine
its not its just a train get ya facts right before you commeng
Ya right thanks for that. I'll have you know that one of those trains set the world speed record, and another traveled the tracks of two different coninents.
It’s not Thomas you idiot it’s spencer

Best Train Opera Ever...!!! thank you for sharing.
love seeing all the a4s together!! just a pity there isn't more of them !

I went to shildon
two see them locomotives .I am obsessed with trains.
I like trains 🚆
I was certain that when I saw her in the early sixties she was numbered 60022.?
Yep she became number 22 and then 60022 :)

@@freyamurray7951 I cleaned up this channel quite a lot as I have moved everything over to the Railway Mania channel now :)
I needed to know why they don’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so that they can extend the unused abandoned underground train stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock and that includes the class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign them an overhead line and also make them into Five cars per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on those Five cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 8-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into an 11 car per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers. 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. The modernised refurbished 11 cars per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 47 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project if that will be OK for London Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from the Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden more Easily. 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. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and can they order Every 37 Octagon and Every 17 Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique small no.13 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 142MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 142MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units, can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 18 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!!!!!!, oh can you make all of those Coal Boxes’s 17 Tonnes for all of those 142MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!! so please make sure that the Builders can do as they are told!!!! And please do something about these very very important Professional ideas Please? Prime Minister of England, Prime Minister of Australia, Prime Minister of Sweden, Prime Minister of Germany, Prime Minister of Italy, Prime Minister of Poland and that Includes the Mayor of London.
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.
This Beethoven composition is the best theme for the A4s
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.
Combine the a4s together and you've created a monster.
Thomas fans are so obnoxious T__T
Yup, the are annoying as sin
The a4 Council will rate your whistle
Brings a shiver to one's back, and a tear to the eye... Very nice tribute to those sooty beasties!
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 .
Wish that Dominion of Canada was fired, would love to have heard her two tone American style whistle
A4
If none of this class were scrapped that would be amazing to see them ALL together: *2509, 2512, and all the others.*
It's a shame that none of the silver ones survived, although Bittern was silver for a while. Would be amazing to have the whole silver train as well!
@@CorwinB5 then why wouldn't they re-build the silver A4s and Kingfisher?
@@theextremeanimator4721 It costs quite a lot of money. Several million pounds are going in to building a new P2 class at the moment.
Slow progress though.
Beautiful video and a stirring soundtrack....Superbly put together.
that was very dramatic (in a good way)
Oh...and thanks to Beethoven......(that’s the music Cyril!)
Just simply put
Thank you
LNER POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In Philippines thers is all of the A4 in closed mallard
Do you no mallard he is the fastest a4
Do you not think we should build a silver a4
Bittern was dressed up as Silver Link for quite a few years I believe
CorwinB5 yes that is correct but I think we should build a silver one
silver link and silver fox are scraped
@@CorwinB5 R.I.P. Silver Link: the First A4 Built. I wish they preserved her.
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.
so cool and all that streamling engines are so just like spencer from thomas & friends you know the same wheels the same whistles and the same names and mallard must be spencer'brother you know that man mallard is the fastest locomotive of the world dude 😙😙😙😙😚😶😶😚😗😗😗😗
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 :)
Wow man this is so cool and so awesome and mallard sir nigel gresley union of south africa and all this streamlined engines are just like spencer from thomas & friends you know spencer is also a streamlined engine like mallard sir nigel gresley and union south of africa of course
Beautiful steam engines
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.
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.
It Looks awesome amazing incredible and those streamling engines are just like a little bit like spencer from thomas & Friends you know spencer is also a streamling engine just like mallard of course so coolest ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
I've driven at a Train at 125mph and it aint no hanging about! Let me tell you
Excellent video.
MALLARD should never have to say goodbye!! Class or what,!!!!
A4= Steam Locomotive GOD. The Queen Of Speed.
What's the background music
It is 'Beethoven's 5th Symphony' mixed with a recording of Joe Duddington recounting the event
CorwinB5 cheers thanx for replying
Other name for a locomotive is called “Steam Engine”
OMG SERIOUS LOCO PORN! How did i miss this :....(
COME ON OLD GIRL.........Worlds fastest steam locomotive FOR EVER!!!
hmmmm.......this is not locomotive porn at all, this is more of a hot model calendar thing
Without doubt the most impressively pretentious soundtrack ever.
Haha! 'Impressively Pretentious' is my motto....
holy cheese good vid
The ancient shinkansen...
No don’t let Dwight D Eisenhower and Dominion of Canada go to their homes let them stay in the National Railway Museum
Because Dominion of Canada and Dwight d eizenhower are may favorite A4s
And restore mallard Dwight d Eisenhower and dominion of Canada to Operating condition
@@khalilrasha1 Ok I know this comment is a year old but seriously. Those locomotives have names and rights of their countries. One has the name of the bloody county while another has the name of a US president and was used by said President. The UK has much more than Canada and the US.
Makes me emotional.
I'lll miss you my friend
And pls don't tell all the A4 is gana be scrap I'm gana cry for a 10 uear
No, the six you saw there have been preserved, and do you have an F in Grammar?
It's called the great goodbye because 2 of them were heading back to america and Canada to their museums where they were since the end of steam when they were given to the 2 countries
I was there ❤
Ygg
Background music Mars this.
Don't worry, RUclips has plenty of dull, unedited videos of trains for people who don't like picture edited to music :)
😢☹️
Why is it the great goodbye did they all get scraped
Nope,the 6 A4s got reunited again. The event was also called "The Great Gathering"
It's the great goodbye as two of them were bought back to the uk form America and Canada for the 75th anniversary of mallards speed record. This was the last time all 6 were seen in public together, possibly for ever.
Why the A4 not used anymore
They are in use,in 2021 no.4498 (60007) Sir Nigel Gresley is returning back in working order as a replacement of no.4497 (60009) Union Of South Africa,which waa retired in 2020
Is mallard not operational anymore?
Not for about 30 years. Whilst there are operating locos of the same class it is unlikely it will run. It would mean an expensive overhaul.
And why does one have a bell?
It's the Canadian connection.
"When released into traffic, 4489 wore garter blue livery. The coat of arms of Canada was on the side of the cab and a CPR-type bell mounted ahead of the single chimney."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNER_Class_A4_4489_Dominion_of_Canada
Who votes bittern the best
LEGO spider-man Cars fan 28 mallards best an always will be
I want to see Mallard return to steam again!
AmericanRailfan 2005 it won’t happen
I heard roomers that it will run on its 100th anniversary but i doubt it
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. I've seen all six of the surviving A4's in person, and its a honor to see them in person.
What ever happened to Silver Link? You need to have the first one built there for it to be more effective
It was scrapped in 1963.
It’s wasn’t scrapped
Yes It Was.
@@reecesrcs yes it was look it up on Wikipedia,only Mallard,sir nigel gresley, Dwight D Eisenhower,bittern,union of South Africa and dominion of Canada are the only A4s that are preserved (mabey dominion of New Zealand)
Freya Murray nope it wasn’t scrapped
A4,s and Beethoven's 5th Symphony !!! what more could one want ?
So sad
Why?
I would rather hear the Train over bloody Beethoven . Thank-OO anyway..
I wish Dwight D Eisenhower and the Dominion of Canada was at York instead of being in Canada and the United States of America
Why? Dwight Eisenhower is one of the locomotives at the National Railroad Museum. Can't the US and Canada have some? Huh?
They were given to america and Canada as gifts by BR at the end of steam
FLYING SCOTSMAN IS AN A4 TRAIN?!?!
