It's an absolute disgrace that Mallard, one of the most famous steam locomotives in Britain, if not the world, was moved away from the NRM and to a small town that hardly anyone has even heard of. Thank heavens it is now back in York, where it belongs. However, this is still a very interesting and well-filmed video.
@AtleeDeltic (I film events on my door steps, so not a train buff) I think that you must look at the wider picture, wider exposure of Mallard and thus more chance of restoration, it increases visitor numbers at both Loco Shildon & NRM York. It was always a holiday for Mallard and never permanent, Shildon I believe is the cradle of railways, so many enthusiasts would say, why not have Mallard at Shildon? NRM & Locomotion are slightly different and why not visit both? I didn't know M had moved?
