Description

The world record holder `Mallard' , part of Britain's national collection. Her normal home is at the National Railway Museum at York www.nrm.org.uk/
The plaque is an enlarged version of that which is seen on the side of her boiler.
Photographed at the NRM Shildon www.nrm.org.uk/PlanaVisit/Visi… on Thursday 20th February 2014. She and her 5 remaining sisters were there for the closing stages of the `Great Gathering' which saw the six surviving  `A4s' together, probably for the last time ever.  Two of these majestic engines are due to return to their respective museums in the next few weeks, and are unlikely to return to the UK. 4489 (60010) `Dominion of Canada' will return to the Canadian Railway Museum near Montreal, and 4496 (60008) Dwight D. Eisenhower will return to the National Railroad Museum, Green Bay, USA.
