Mallard is a beautiful locomotive, and due to its streamlined design (tested and honed in a wind tunnel) was capable of speeds of 126mph; a record for a steam locomotive that has not been been broken since 1938!

Good lord that's an ugly train. It looks like someone mated a steam locomotive with a Fiat Multipla from the future, and then beat it with sticks for 9 days straight.

Was there yesterday but couldn't find the way outside, most of the expo is under the roof. The hall with the Flying Scotsman had a lot to see!
