Join me on an orgy of steam and speed on UK's east coast mainline! Please meet Thomas the Tank Engine on steroids. The footage has been shot during the 30 September 2010 Silver Jubilee trip from London King's Cross to Newcastle and features the A4 Pacific 'Bittern' and the coronation class 'Duchess of Sutherland'. The relation between the A4 pacific and the present record holder of speed, the Bugatti Veyron is addressed here as well. Footage of the Bugatti Veyron is taken from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcYCAVRpThc. Music used in clip is from Faithless and it also contains a fragment of one of Rachmaninov's preludes.
