Hi, My friend Ernie Noa took some video of my trains at our steam up last weekend. It is mostly my A4 with a little Peveril and Lady Anne for good measure. It was a great weekend.
More A4

Hi,
The display at the NRM, York is because is is the anniversary of the run of Mallard down Stoke Bank at 126mph; two of the locos have been brought over from Canada, and given a total repaint. The others are English (or Scottish). One is 'Mallard' which is not operational, but is owned by the NRM; the other three are operational and in private hands.
One of the (number 9 - Union of South Africa) was given special permission to run at 90 MPH (normal speed is up to 75 mph) which it did achieving 92 MPH.
Google has plenty of images of them, just enter LNER A4's, (here in the UK they are regularly being used on charter trains) in various colors of their long lives (with 10 year full inspections being required for all of them).
A final link is to one of our 'enthusiasts magazines', which explains what it is all about
