I was on it aswell, and it was absolutely brilliant. Great video, made the hairs on my neck stick up.Ditto what everyone said about the kid,sums it up beautifully.Thanks for sharing it
Nothing comes close to the sight and sound of a steam engine at full tilt. What word(s) could possibly describe such a spectacle? I guess the little lad speaks for us all :o)) Great Video clip, 5* and Favourite.. Thanks for shearing that with us..
Just watched the vid again this morning. What a great job those A1 trust guys have done. I have to get off my arse & send them another donation.
This is more than just about a steam engine. It shows what a group of determined & motivated people can do it they think clearly, stick at it through all the ups & downs & inspire others with their vision.
It's a great life lesson.
But of course, I love the way that beautiful engine purred through the station. Talk about a well oiled machine!
Great Video, 5 Stars!

Could it be used to break Mallard's speed record?
If it could should we break it, or leave the title with Mallard?

Fantastic symbol of Britain. Hope she can somehow be used for the Olympics. The world should see her.

I'll bet 60 years ago the kids were saying the same thing. The world keeps spinning, but luckily kids will always be the same...

Thanks for all the comments. You're all very welcome. The kid who provides the fitting commentary is my Mallard obsessed 6 year old son.
