@traintakes: It’s the fastest steam locomotive of all time. She’s admired by a huge number of visitors every year at the National Railway Museum in York. But it hasn’t physically pulled a train since 1988. So - Should Mallard Return to Steam? #mallard #steam #steamtrain #4468 #a4 #gresley #pacific #trainsatspeed #nrm #nationalrailwaymuseum
If they can restore the flying Scotsman and she was in bad state they can easily restore mallard they just don’t want to because we all know people like to be cheap

Fun fact the fastest official steam engine is in fact Mallard because it had the tracking CA behind it but in cases like the Pennsylvania s1 completing sections of track in times where it would've had

Unfortunately they won’t steam it, the boiler is shot(had to run at reduced pressure in 88), she’s closer to original than most of the other A4’s. Plus I feelshe’s more valuable than Flying Scotsman.

there's 3 running A4s, if Mallard was restored, there'd be naff all left of the origional loco, she's a preserved engine. keep her that way.

Grr Boo! She’s only technically the fastest because the Prr T1 never bothered to put a speedometer on the cab.

Museum won’t ever get it back into steam too expensive and it will ruin the authenticity of the locomotive

I think what would be even more amazing is to build a new one. get all the heritage railways working together to build one from the ground up.
