A4 LNER Line up at York all whistling with 60009 on mainline

[@sleeming88]

South Africa: "I'm off. See you later!" Gresley: "Bye! Have fun!" Bittern: "Yeah. Bye!" Mallard: *I hate you all so much.*

[@goingnowherefast1834]

mallard is actually in non operational( in other words, the boiler hasn't been inspected and therefore, does not have a valid boiler ticket)

[@jacobjohnston1218]

FatFaceNo. 4 it would also cost to much to get to modern mainline safety standards someone​ at the N.R.M told me this

[@Bluegoose-df7if]

sleeming88 LOL

[@yoville73]

Mallard: I wish I was operational like you guys... All others: maybe one day...

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

Yeah mallards last outing on the mainline was in 1988 during the 50th anniversary of its world record

[@thejoker0882]

Brilliant! Loved the Engine's 'talking' towards the end there!

[@mostynsowner]

This is still my favourite ever video on KZbin. Guaranteed to make me cry with joy every time.

[@LNERFAN4472]

Absolutely amazing would have loved to be there, outstanding whistles. Long Live The A4 Pacific.

[@cheekymg]

I think the woman speaking at the end of the whistles summed it up - "Bloody BRILLIANT!" Thanks for putting this clip on.

[@theshipfan1221]

2:13 and that’s when I realize. That’s a steam age whistle.

[@D.music85]

It’s actually the one at the end.

[@Isaiah_57]

Me too lol

[@Isaiah_57]

Right

[@toysallyear]

Ahh, Sir Nigel Gresley.

[@ben60009coll]

I know. It's all I wanted them to do when attending the photo shoot and never thought they would all Whistle with each other. Cheers, Ben.

[@2a_ely114]

2:42 is steam age Mallard whistle...

[@jacobpham4220]

steam age roblox game, Yes that’s the original whistle

[@NewYorkCentral8516]

Also 3583 bytes train sim mallard whistle

[@TheOli123440]

In my opinion, the A4's have the finest sounding whistles in steam locomotive history. Goosebumps every time I hear them.

[@polandballrbx9954]

very beautiful whistles and amazing shots of side by sides

[@DoctorTankEngine]

Absolutely Fantastic! I saw 60009 come through Northallerton yesterday, beautiful she was, that last scene with all whistling at 60009 as she leaves York, brough a tear to my eye.

[@ben60009coll]

Excellent job as well, she looked immaculate well done to you and everyone (as I take it you were cleaning too) for way it's was turned out like the other A4's in true splender. Great job, it was all worth it! An iconic moment in history! Cheers.

[@ben60009coll]

Yeah I bet. So pleased they were all together on the Saturday. Just so great to see. Bet there was a good atmosphere on the train. Cheers, Ben.

[@nikerailfanningttm9046]

60009: “I’m steaming out” Sir Nigel Gresley: “I salute you brother!” Bittern: “Cheerio mate!” Mallard: *•____•*

2:12 whistle from train sim

[@WesternRailway1592]

Its actually at 2:42

[@joshnielsen4068]

I hope mallard is in steam for her 100th anniversary of her world record run it would be great to see but sadly i think that she will be just sitting there not moving because they dont want to ruin her original state which i can understand :(. It is great to see some of the other A4's in steam they are my favorite class of loco

[@oliviaalwen2142]

josh u do know theres a total of 6 and they wont with malard bc it could ruin her boiler or they wont want to risk ruining a beutiful lner a4

[@joshnielsen4068]

Of course I know about all the A4 locos they are my favourite loco. I understand they don't want to ruin mallard but she deserves to be in steam for her 100th anniversary

[@oliviaalwen2142]

i know but still she now lives with NRM york and they may not want to steam her incase she gets damaged and im sure the feller him self would say that but its the NRM who own her and u should contact them and ask them if she'll be steamed up as she probly wants it her self

[@nickelplatenerd6989]

Sorry to be a tosser, but I feel like the Mallard is a he.

[@paulcaswell2813]

They dragged her out of retirement in 1988 for the fiftieth anniversary of the record run, and she ran almost in original condition. I'm sure she COULD be put back into working order just to get a few miles on her. And surely electronic systems could be mounted in the support coach so as 4468's originality would remain.

[@hurleyfunbags]

Even though I wasn't there it still brought a lump to the throat and a tear to the eye! Thanks for putting this on youtube. I hope that they repeat the event next year (I hear it has been mentioned).

[@DanM012324]

Very very good video! The A4's look stunning as usual. Seems a bit sad though that the other three were in steam and Mallard is just stood there lifeless and cold. The NRM really do need to restore her to mainline condition. I was up at NRM on sunday and they said that once they finished the Flying scotsman they could possibly restore Mallard if they had enough money. Lets hope they do it!!

[@railandmodel]

Fantastic Glad you got this on camera. I couldn't make it to the event :-( due to various things.NRM hats off to you guys for pulling this off. Cheers

[@MorrisManDanceMan]

now then this so bloody brilliant if could l give it 8 stars so good thanks.

[@2509SilverLink]

These engines are amazing. And as for all the people who keep saying bring Dwight D Eisenhower and Dominion of Canada back need to grow up. They make people in North America happy and proud. I had never even heard of an A4 until I went to the museum where Dwight is kept and I was so amazed at. Now, my ultimate favorite train is the A4 Pacific. It's what got me into railways and model trains.

[@ben60009coll]

Hi there. The A4's were the main engines to have chime whistles but Oliver Cromwell which you heard is fitted with one as well. This being the Brit class as Britania also has the same whistle. As well as the week sounding LNER Whistle that Tornado has which sounds the same as Green Arrow's watery whistle, Tornado is also fitted with a chime Whistle but you can't beat the classic A4 sound. Glad you like the video. Cheers, Ben Collier.

[@ben60009coll]

It did with me and all the haires on my neck were stood up. Just awesome! Thanks.

[@ShuntingSteve]

I love this video :D A4 locomotives are my favourite :)

[@bluetraxdax2001]

Same here.

[@savery83]

Absolutley brilliant, the best video on you tube.

[@BrandonWalsh98]

Great Clip!! Must have been amazing to see mallard - she is a beautiful loco!!

[@ben60009coll]

Oh that would be brilliant if repeated. Thanks it made me tingle as the sound was deafining and powerfull, like the A4's were making their presence really known to each other. Glad you like it, thanks. Ben.

[@LadyDragonbane]

I love this video! Thank you so much for posting!

[@MorrisManDanceMan]

now this is so brilliant thanks for this video thank you

[@SteveTBCFC]

That Was Brilliant, An Amazing Moment In Time.

[@MichaelHenderson1948]

We could hear that occasionally from our house in York, when an A4 would be on a special. Lovely sound.

[@ben60009coll]

Yeah totally agree, that would have been the icing on the cake. Thanks, glad you like it. Ben.

[@railandmodel]

Thanks for sending me this mate.Mallard's boiler cert has expired or some thing like that, so would need a strip down & rebuild like Scotsman.They've just done the same with Sir Gresley.Cheers

[@MaxPayneFAN2010]

I hear you :), Dwight and Dominion may be British steam locomotives, but I view them as a Gift to America, it would be so nice for me to go on holiday, look around a railway museum and look at a British spectacle and think to myself, I feel honoured that the American's love this type of locomotive. For example too, I also love Big Boy locomotives, and Pennsylvania K4 pacifics they are beautiful :)

[@ben60009coll]

Thanks for your comments, she does sum it all up in that statement. Really pleased to share it with everyone as it was so magical.

[@Inkipuss]

Spine-tingling indeed. Great pics. *envy* :-)

[@engineer6325]

COOL!!!!! 4 A4's lined up and whistling, shame Mallard couldn't be steamed up for this, but at least 3 of them were.

Hi. There is of course Mallard there and No.9 may be there as that's booked to leave on Friday if fixed. No. 7 left yesterday back to Grosmont and Bittern left with train back down to London on Sunday. Ben.

music to my ears

[@f4fwildcat29]

I can't believe the mallard isn't going to be steamed. Especially since their celebrating her 75th anniversary. I mean... Dangit. And what would be truly amazing is like on her hundredth they go and try to beat it!

[@MrMegamicheal3]

nice to see the all together Ive never seen bittern but have seen all the others at somtimes in my life see mine

This is a fantastic exhibition!

[@fredericksaxton3991]

I have never before noticed the difference in bodywork at the front between Mallard and the others.

[@USSMaineBB-95]

Did mallard whistle too ? Edit: Never mind I read the description and I saw, Mallard was probably glad to be with her brother's and sister's during this Mallard: You guys are lucky to be in working condition -_- Union of south africa: Don’t worry one day you will run again, not sure when but one day Sir Nigel: She is right, you will one day be given another chance to be in working order for now they just need to figure out how much it will cost and what parts you need Bittern: their both right, someday you will be able to in working condition like us and maybe be they’ll have you run at 90mph like I did on the 75th anniversary Mallard: I hope so, and I hope you guys are right too

[@bennickss]

It’s kinda sad that 60009 has now joined mallard in mainline unemployment, probably forever

[@G7NDJ]

WOW thats just made me cry i wish i was there

[@elijahthetrainboy]

I went to york before but I did not see the 60009,60007,60019 and 4468. I love the ending to this. did you know that the 60019 bittern is know blue 4492 Dominion of new zealand.

Mallard made the trip to Doncaster for the workshop's 150th anniversary many years ago - she has ventured outside occasionally!

[@HSTHoward]

i wish mallard was in steam awsome video

[@LowerTidmouthStudios]

2:13 the whistle that was used in "Train Sim" for android, i can't believe o found It!

[@IlikeTitanic]

@OceansApprentice Mallard doesn't whistle because he (or she, i don't know, i'm spanish) was turned off, so he/she hadn't steam to blow the whistle.

[@M3UEX]

good video of the 40th anniversary malard and whistling A++++++++++++

[@jacobmutti1528]

2:41 that whistle is actually being used in a roblox game for a A4 pacific.

[@HadidGamingIndonesia]

yes

[@UBIQUEROL]

Bittern sounded a bit rusty, but beautiful to see the four together ashame about the other two being abroad

[@EastMidlandsSteam]

@LondonMuckShifters O yh i agree it wont cost 3 million to steam her again. The problem with A4 class is there arent as many drawings found as the A1 so will be much tougher to recast the parts needed. Like i said they struggled with 019 and she only just steamed so is it really worth it ? Id honestly want to bring 008 and 010 back from abroad as they're more likely to steam than Mallard

[@bwarrrrk]

lovely locos. im gonna see nigel gresely on 21st december at kings cross

[@smiffy1071]

how sad that mallard was totally dead, in-animate. I know that it's not possible to have her in steam, because the boiler is not certified, but it would surely be possible to connect an air supply to power the whistle?

[@ArnavKhode]

Imagine if Spencer showed up to hang out with his siblings, his view on steam engines of his own kind would be forever changed

[@mikeshearer1250]

I read that since there are already 3 A4's in operation that they are not making any plans to restore it to running condition, sadly.

[@harrymcandrew1447]

micheal shearer you might mean 2 as i belive 60009 union of south africa wont be anymore as i belive from wat being told there trying to find her a home and it has a cracked boiler

I agree, and I'm worried that if she gets a paint job here before returning to North America, that she might get worn down again... It is not the way to treat a steaming spectacle.

[@Jonnyvalenta]

Simply magnificent!

[@SecondValveSteam]

I believe 60008 and 4489 have been wonderfully repainted over here, although it would be nice for one of them to stay here, but i read in Steam Railway someone vowed to try and purchase 60008, as for Mallard, i would like to see her in steam again, and if Bittern could reach 100mph on the way back to the cross, Brilliant!!!

such a great vid. Fantastic. Me and my dad are building a British theme display and we just picked up 60012 and 60013. Mallard is on the list and picking up Evening star in a week or so. BUt i wish i was there for this.... Where in Canada is one of these i saw someone mention?

[@ejcmoorhouse]

@2509SilverLink yes I agree we have 3 working A4s and one on static display we have plenty their are some classes that are no longer with us sadly!!?!

[@smiffy1071]

not quite true, she did do some special trips back in 1988, video of which can be found elsewhere on YT. It's unlikely to be in steam again, as the boiler would need to be re-certified for safety reasons, which would cost much moolah!

[@ralph5407]

Yes a definate lump in thraot and tear in eye moment there.......

[@edwardianeccentric]

I agree that Mallard should remain static, as the official preserved one, which will allow the others to keep on going without so much worry over the preservation/replica argument. I think the two overseas can remain there, we've got four as it is!

[@shadowstransport8412]

I want to see mallard back but Idk if they’re going to :(

[@STOPTHEEU]

The Dominion of Canada is over your way somewhere. Not sure where! Also the Dwight D. Eisenhower is in the USA. Again not sure where! There rest as far as I know are all in Great Britain. I have seen Mallard and traveled on the Sir Nigel Gresley. Truly amazing locomotives!

[@locomotiveAlex1996]

@penninefilms to cut a long story short, mallard's knackered, and its too expensive to put her back into qorking order so shes remained on static display since the early or mid 90's if im not mistaken

[@AydenBatiste]

Yooooo I Js noticed that

[@justandy333]

Very nice video. What was the story behind Mallard? I mean as to why it it was kept as a static display in a museum, rather than being restored? Surely being the Steam speed record holder counts for somthing? Restore it to mainline condition! Well thats my view anyway.

[@voidjavelin23]

mallard need lots of overhaul on her boiler and have to be equip with many safety system(AWS, TPWS, yadda yadda yadda) but NRM cant do it because they want to preserve its original parts

[@Zachary-whodey]

A little similar sounding to a case traction engine
