A4 Pacific No 4468 Mallard arrives at its new home at Locomotion Shildon from the National Railway Museum in York. Mallard No 4468 designed by Sir Nigel Gresley (holds the World Speed Record for a steam engine 126mph) & No 47798 Prince William were hauled by A1 Peppercorn Class No 60163 Tornado, currently the most famous steam locomotive in the world.

A crowd of over 1000 had gathered to welcome Mallard, Tornado & Prince William to Locomotion. Once again Shildon was buzzing & the scene was reminiscent of the 150th Anniversary of The Stockton To Darlington Railway Gala of 1976 held in Shildon.

  • 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?
