Light touch as Mallard anniversary looms
A nationwide countdown is underway to the 75th anniversary of the Doncaster-built locomotive capturing the world speed record and the build-up was marked by illuminating Clifford’s Tower in York with a projected image of an Art Deco-style Mallard.
On July 3 Mallard and her five surviving sister A4 Pacific Class locomotives will be gathered together at York’s National Railway Museum – a sight never seen before.
