It ended up as two separate trains because Jeremy wanted to use the Jaguar which couldn't haul the four coaches, and that it would still be horribly expensive to travel in, whereas May and Hammond got a four-wheel drive Audi and had a train that was set up as follows: First Buffet (this caught fire at the end of their journey thanks to Hammond's appalling work as a steward and cook) Second Scum (they could've just used a livestock wagon instead)

Any steam loco with wheels over 6 feet high has the potential to do close to 100 MPH or even more. Weather it is allowed to, weather it can be driven that hard & especially, if it can keep it's steam pressure up, will be they key. The wheels are the gearing. Drive/fire it wrong or too hard & steam pressure drops & power falls off The smaller tall wheeled locos of the late 19th century could attain 80 MPH or so, with a light train. But the bigger Tornado sized engines of the 1930s, could cruse at that speed or higher, with heavy trains. & Germany & a few trains in the USA could = them. Steam may be romantic & the early diesels couldn't beat them (or even = them if the train was long & heavy). Then came the Deltic ( Class 55) Steam was beaten ( with some improvements on this line). Then we have the InterCity 125, the HST., a diesel train with sort of electric train performance. But the modern electrics will leave the HST still clearing the station.

Tornado or Scotsman need to come to the states one more time, we finally have the Daylight, J-Class 611, and a Big boy running at the same time in history. Our 3 most famous locomotives. And Scotsman, or Tornado need to be here to see it.

DAVID ANTONIO CAMPOS BARROS while yes mallard is currently in cold storage, it could be pulled back into service. It's not like it's worn out, they just want to preserve what's left of the original engine, so much of Flying Scotsman is not original, but so much of Mallard is. They want to keep as much of Mallard as possible. If anything they would bring over Bittern, or work to get Dwight D Eisenhower running in the states since it's on display here.

Very similar locomotives, though I believe that the liveries are different. Tornado is in LNER/BR Apple green, while Flying Scotsman is in Brunswick green.

One might argue that many trains in the UK are in effect "steam powered" these days since they are electrically powered and the electricity is generated by steam (that is made from using some sort of fuel like coal, natural gas, or nuclear as a heat source for the steam).

America built its locomotives for pulling power, one engine capable of 140 freight cars at a comfortable 60-70 mph (granted they had a few that could top 110 for passenger service) Britian built its locomotives for speed, and hats off to em for that. I love steam locomotives.
