@Nastyswimmer I have been told by a fireman of the LM region that it was a struggle when he used to fire Princess Royals and Duchess's/Princess Coronations from London to Crewe to fire them fast enough if they tried to go above the usual speed and with there being not enough room for 2 to fire it it sadly wouldn't happen looks great though and @dm3830 no the Germans shouldn't Mallard hit 90mph going up hill then the famed 125mph just after and the papers are there to prove it :)
very,very impressive indeed.

Awesome scenes, just right for any train set manufacturer to put on the box of a train set!

Obviously better boiler, better valvegear than Mallard but fairs fair the Germans should have the record no?

@ShaurntheSheep Maybe - but with some decent coal and two men shovelling she should be able to beat the Mallard's record

She's at the NRM, streamlined. They've made modifications to the streamlining so that she complies with modern load gauging...so never say never.
