So here they are Smiley

... and the rest ...

The group of A4s (Mallard class) will be at the museum until next Wednesday, but the Flying Scotsman is a permanent feature, along with very many others - 300 years worth of history in fact!

Aerodynamically shaped steam locomotives - I had no idea such a thing existed, let alone 5 or 6 of them!

Got the "skinny" here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNER_Class_A4_4468_Mallard

Thank you, Mr. Godfrey!
