My aim is to visit the closed and abandoned railways (tracks, tunnels, bridges, stations, viaducts -- anything!) of Britain, learning about them along the way.

About This Item

Mallard TB

Mallard TB is a model of the famous 'A4' class steam locomotive designed by Sir Nigel Gresley for the LNER (London & North Eastern Railway). It set the world speed record for steam locomotives at 126 mph in 1938, and continued in service until 1963. It was returned to steam in 1988 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of its record.

The 'real' Mallard is now in the National Railway Museum at York.

Retrieve It from a Cache 12/27/2009 jay-walker retrieved it from Pedal to the Metal Trilogy - Part 2 South Wales, United Kingdom   Visit Log

Collected The Mallard for a journey down to Cornwall and a 'lost' railway.

  • A good idea....but... Just to let you know that I have not forgotten The Mallard. This photo shows it visiting the 'lost' railway on Caradon Hill, Cornwall where I had intended to place it in a cache - alas it was under 30cms of snow and the only available cache (in a tree) was too small to take it.

Mallard placed at the end of the line(?) of the dismantled Coryton-Tongwynlais section of the Cardiff Railway. Intriguing and surprising place with stunning bridge over the grassy remains of the railway in a secluded valley.

Hope to move the Mallard on without too much delay.. she does have a speedy look about her and was clearly never meant to hang about!
Dropped Off 10/16/2009 walk tall placed it in Dursley Donkey Southern England, United Kingdom - 81.77 miles  Visit Log

Left near the old railway branch line to Dursley from Coaley Junction, known as the Dursley Donkey.

Unfortunately Mr Beeching swung his axe and the line was officially closed to passenger traffic in March 1963. Goods services continued until July 1970 when a lorry damaged the bridge at littlecombe.
