A4 Pacific No 4468 Mallard arrives at its new home at Locomotion Shildon from the National Railway Museum in York. Mallard No 4468 designed by Sir Nigel Gresley (holds the World Speed Record for a steam engine 128mph) & No 47798 Prince William were hauled by A1 Peppercorn Class No 60163 Tornado, currently the most famous steam locomotive in the world. A crowd of over 1000 had gathered to welcome Mallard, Tornado & Prince William to Locomotion. Once again Shildon was buzzing & the scene was reminiscent of the 150th Anniversary of The Stockton To Darlington Railway Gala of 1976 held in Shildon.
