Nine years before I was born feels as different as then probably did to the when these engines were the peak of technology. Very glad theres at least some record of these events, really glad to see someone got footage of Malard and Scotty steaming together, I'd seen pictures before but never moving images, great stuff! Really wish Scotty was retuned to this guise too, though I'm doubtful that will ever cone to pass, at least we have this footage though.
@@justahillbilly7777 The world (or at least Britain) has gone mad. If a human gets in the way of a 100+ ton steam locomotive at speed, it doesn't take much intelligence to know that the human would get the worse of it!
Funny how nowadays people crowd round to take photos. When I was a lad they came through so often you wouldn't have crossed the road to see one. Little did I know when I rushed up to the embankment to see my first diesel, that this would happen.
6:43 look at that flying Scotsman the worlds famous steam loco in the world is helping out its rival mallard the worlds fastest steam engine in the world by doing double header light engine movement
the mallard & also union of south africa steam engine.s should be restored to full working condition, & given new boiler,s, 2 of the fastest steam engine,s that exist & they are sitting all polished up in museums, i myself dont want to see them in museums, to me thats a waste of time, i want to hear & see them out on the railway & doing what they were built for.
It’s ashamed that Papyrus, Doncaster, Cameronian, Salmon Trout, Fairway, Persimmon, Woolwinder, Harvester, Great Northern, Lemberg, Pretty Polly, Prince Palatine, Sceptre, Shotover, Tranquil, Book Law, Blink Bonny, Tagalie, Robert the Devil, Victor Wild, Spearmint, Flying Fox, Spion Kop, Galtee More, Tracery, Merry Hampton, Silver Link, Quicksilver, Silver King, and Silver Fox didn’t make it into preservation
that’s because Mallard’s boiler is probably unconditional in late 80’s but it’s too expensive to have it replace the firebox and some another parts and so i’m betting it probably takes couple years or 10 years like Flying Scotsman went 10 years overhaul so who knows if NRM will decide if Mallard goes back in steam or not. Only time will tell
My late dad ex M.N took me to King's Cross Station on his Douglas Dragonfly & for a packet each of fags each to the crews I boarded the futplate & blew the whisky of Mallard then painted Green
I live in Spain now mad about steam locos , the burning of coal of which Britain possess a fortune is not pollution the soot needed by nature & the CO2 produced converted to our Oxygen via photosynthesis, re open "We are a grandmother "s pits !?
Just like Flying Scotsman, i think Mallard should be restored to operation, too!

Some incredible footage here, especially of Mallard and Flying Scotsman together. Superb stuff.
Many thanks!
With their popularity, These 2 engines are the British versions of the Dyamic Duo. And the main representation of The Uk
The amount of people lineside... towards the end of the video.... Shocking :)
Nice bit of nostalgia, nicely captured
Many thanks for posting this Roy. 👍 London Marylebone played an often unappreciated part in bringing steam excursions to the massive London Market.
The most amazing thing about this video is to discover that back in 1986 you were allowed to trespass on the railway - WOW 😲
That's 'cuz you could trust complete strangers to know what to do in certain situations. Sadly not anymore though.

Not really ..trespassing offences date back to 1840s and were certainly network wide in 1949.
A most fitting tribute to the
late John Bellwood , CME NRM
Woah nice mallard and flying Scotsman I live where they where made Doncaster
This was in my recommended, Idk why but I liked the video
Glad you enjoyed the Video.

5:48 that’s a 1 in a life time shot if I’ve ever seen one
I don't think we will see it again.

Mallard and Scotty are cousin

I remember Mallard being towed to York in 75 ish? They say she will never run again? But hey, they got a Big Boy going again?
1:10 35028 clan line near 4468 mallard in 1986

I take both steam locomotive.
Shame Mallard hasn't been steamable since. I would love to see Mallard on the Mainline again
Perhaps one day it will steam again, but not in my lifetime.

There’s clan line standing next mallard at Marylebone
Yes that is "Clan Line"
Yeah
5:42 double header I want to see
My late dad ex M.N took me to King's Cross Station on his Douglas Dragonfly & for a packet each of fags each to the crews I boarded the futplate & blew the whisky of Mallard then painted Green
Gordon and Spencer in a nutshell basically, except Spencer is more nicer

@@simonsadler9360 lol
I think Flying Scotsman is more famous than Mallard
