Mallard 75 at York

Wow 6 gorgeous engines and so many people!

This is the first time I have had to queue to get into the National Railway Museum. It was just amazing how much interest it generated. It was great to see the 6 remaining A4s together, all looking resplendent in their refurbished livery. Am really sorry I didn’t manage to get to book one of the photography sessions as it require patience to get the photos due to the large number of people present and this was just after opening time- As I left a couple of hours later the queues were much longer. I went on the Mallard 75 simulator which gave some experience of what it must have felt like to be on the footplate of the loco as it set the record.
