Title:
ex-LNER 4468 "Mallard" At The National Railway Museum
Description:
I've included these photos so the real railfans can drool. I've been priviledged to have been around "Mallard" on a daily basis during my work at the British National Railway Museum in York, but I have to admit I've never worked ON it, per se. For the uninitiated, "Mallard" holds the world speed record for a steam locomotive, at 125 or 126 m.p.h., depending on who you talk to, achieved in 1938. The closest rivals are DRG #05 002 (124.5 m.p.h. in 1937) and PRR #7002 (allegedly 127 m.p.h., but unconfirmed, in 1906). "Mallard" was an A4 Class 4-6-2 steam passenger locomotive designed by the London & North Eastern Railway's Chief Mechanical Engineer Sir Herbert Nigel Gresley, who also designed many other famous classes of steam locomotive for the LNER, which included the earlier A1, A10, and A3 Class 4-6-2s ("Flying Scotsman was built as an A1, and rebuilt twice, first to an A10, and then to an A3, becoming all three classes at one point or another), and the V2 Class 2-6-2 (of which #4771 "Green Arrow" was one). Like all of LNER's high-end passenger power, "Mallard" was built at Doncaster.

LNER 4468
Description:
It's fair enough that the London & North Eastern Railway's East Coast Mainline was the Mallard's main route, but here it is on the modern, electrified Network Rail ECML in 2003!!! Admittedly, it wasn't under steam, as it had a boiler fault at the time, and was being deadheaded by ex-LNER #4771 "Green Arrow" to the Doncaster 150 Celebration.

ex-LNER 4472 "Flying Scotsman" and ex-BR 60009 (ex-LNER 4488) "Union of South Africa" At The Doncaster 150 Celebration
Description:
This is a rescan of an earlier shot that I posted on my own website, as well as Flickr, if I'm not mistaken. I took the original while I was at the Doncaster 150 Celebration, celebrating 150 years of Doncaster Locomotive Works.

LNER 4472 "Flying Scotsman" Cab
Description:
This was my one and only time in the cab of ex-LNER 4472 "Flying Scotsman," when they were letting people up into it at the Doncaster 150 Celebrations. I did have to wait on line for a good long while, though, and the photo I had somebody take of me in it didn't come out, unfortunately.

Ex-CSD 354.195 at Nadrazi Dejvice
Description:
This shot was pure luck. I was sitting in the beer garden at Nadrazi Dejvice with some friends when suddenly I heared a decellerating steam locomotive. I jumped up and started my camcorder, but my cameraphone responded sooner, and so I got this shot. This locomotive was ex-CSD #354195, built in 1925 by CMK.

Description:
This is a zoom and crop of Picture 1, giving some more detail, although still not enough to read the number. Cameraphones are pretty pathetic in this regard.

Ex-CSD 354.195 and KND 29 in the CD Muzeum
Description:
The locomotive on the left in this picture is former CSD #354.195, and the locomotive on the right is an old industrial locomotive numbered 29 that worked on the KND industrial railway, which served lime quarries in Kladno from 1858 to 1968. 354.195 is a 354.1 Class (by the CSD classification system) 4-6-2T (some sources mistakenly say that this is a 2-6-2, so maybe originally it was, see here:
http://www.laenderbahn-forum.de/journal/die_reihe_429_k-k-priv-suedbahn/bilder/429_Micro-Metakit_CSD-354-640x426.jpg
) based on an old Austrian design from 1917, but built in 1925 by CMK, one of the predecessors to CKD. After the creation of Czechoslovakia and CSD, these locomotives remained in production until 1941, being produced by CKD and Skoda. More confusing is that the museum website classifies it as a tender locomotive, which it clearly isn't. Maybe it was at one time, as #354.7152 is, although 354.7152 is also a 4-6-2. Rated power for the 354.1 Class is 830kW (1113 horsepower, although the museum rounds this up to 1150), while the top speed is 80Km/h. Originally, 236 locomotives were in the fleet, and 354.195 is one of the few still running (I'm not aware exactly how many more there are, but 354.7152 is pictured on the museum website in steam). #354.195's regular mainline career spanned into the 1970's. #29 is an 0-6-0T, and was built by Skoda in 1950, being one of an order of 8. Other than this, though, information on the historical placard was sparse, and because it's an industrial locomotive I haven't been able to get too much more information about it.

Roundhouse at the CD Muzeum
Description:
The Ceske Drahy Muzeum was, until the 1990s, an active depot with a roundhouse, another engine shed, and several other buildings. These buildings are now used for display and maintenance of the collection, and the roundhouse is used for both, with some stalls for display, and some for work. Here we see the turntable, several of the display stalls, and some of the steam locomotive collection.

Ex-CSD 387.043 in Engine Shed at the CD Muzeum
Description:
Normally, to tour the engine shed (or back shop, I'm not sure what the correct term would be in this case), you need to make an appointment, but I got around this problem by shooting this through the door. I'm assuming that #387.043 is operable, otherwise it wouldn't be here, and in any case the drivers and valve gear were wet with oil. The museum claims its been out of service since 2001, but maybe they intend to change that, or already have. #387.043 is a Class 387 Pacific with 1546kW (2074 horsepower) of power, and a top speed, officially sanctioned, of 120Km/h, making it more impressive than most of the other express power at the museum (the museum claims 110Km/h, so maybe they've downgraded it), in spite of it being pretty old. #387.043 was built by Skoda in 1937, and the 43 locomotives of the 387 Class were built between 1926 and 1937, so this would make it one of the last ones built. Strangely, the Czechs call this locomotive a "Mikado," in spite of it being a 4-6-2 rather than a 2-8-2. They cite the short chimney as the reason, but that seems odd given that the Mikado name specifically denotes a 2-8-2 under the Whyte system (although as far as I know Whyte himself didn't officially endorse the names, just the configurations).
