I know many aeroplane enthusiasts are also passionate about steam locomotives, so here are a few shots of the last six remaining A4s gathered at the National Railway Museum to mark the 75th anniversary of Mallard’s record breaking run.

I used to love visiting the Railway Museum, but after my last visit I would not be so keen to go again. I wanted to have a good look at the big Chinese KF7 but this exhibit was partially cordoned off to make way for a damned play area complete with a pile of Lego. If museums must provide these facilities then they should do so in a separate area and not spoil the enjoyment of those who do not wish to look round a playroom.

I did, during my apprentiship work on 2 of the A4s Mallard and Gresley.I just wish they were in as pristine condition when I had to work on them, no joking, they were greasy, filthy and in general,a nightmare to work on.Although a touch of nostalgia returns sometimes, when you see those in the photo all gathered together.
