  • Did you film this?

  • @Dinosorable Unfortunately not!

  • One of this type hit the world speed record, right?

  • I think you might be referring to one of my uploaded clips called "Silver Jubilee" Record Run. Have a look anyway!

  • @Kenta19191919 Certainly did - it was Mallard herself! 3rd July 1938, Stoke Bank, 126.2mph - unbeaten! =D

  • @burnley5960 Obviously you haven't seen 6024 up hatton bank then!

  • @NickRatnieks Great Western Locos Dont Slip

  • @Kenta19191919 This is the Record Holder In Person

  • Splendid! I wish the age of steam would return...

  • @Kenta19191919 I know this is 2 years after your orginal quiestion but yes "Mallard" holds the world speed record for a steam locomotive of 126MPH,

  • I expect as there are so many comments somebody else has noted Mallard with KGV-at 3.00. KGV would have been withdrawn but had been rolled out of the shed for the occasion. Is the absence of any slipping because it was Western men on the footplate?

  • In the end... she was just another A4 to the engine men of BR...

  • Beautiful sound of the A4 whistle

  • I know I am committing heresy by saying this, but to my American ears that whistle sounds awful
