Ben Collier's video sequence of 'The line up' at York Railway Museum on Saturday 05.07.08 (costing £32.50 per person to attend) of '4' A4's after 60007 had just arrived from London with it's train and later 60009 was to head north from York to Edinburgh with the train but unfortunately it failed at Tyne Yard before Newcastle and had to carry on diesel hauled before 60007 was to be sent up Sunday morning light engine to join the diesel hauled train for the return at Tyne Yard. This is the first time for years and years that all the A4's lined up and the first time Mallard has emerged out the museum for over 20 years. Witness them all whistling as 60009 works past them on the mainline as it heads north. Of course the legendary Mallard in the foreground wasn't whistling but the spectacle was defining and spine tingling Chime Whistles galore! Saturday 05.07.08

FlyingEnglishman Says:
Oct 11, 2008 - He's argued with me before, pissed me off and now he's mocking me because I missed it. So shut the hell up. Plus, I'm 16. Two years off adulthood. If you cared to read my profile you'd know that. Now piss off and stop butting in other people's arguments.
FlyingEnglishman Says:
Oct 11, 2008 - Also, he told me he's an adult and works on the railways. Not that I believe him like, he's some stupid kid.
noglet Says:
Oct 11, 2008 - If you want a private argument with someone, have it in private. Arguing on Youtube is the equivalent of shouting in the street. If you want to play with grownups, moderate your language. I was reading this with my little boy: I didn't think that a discussion board about steam engines would contain language and behaviour like yours. 16 huh? I wasn't as clever as I thought when I was that age either.
FlyingEnglishman Says:
Oct 11, 2008 - You can't go on any video on YouTube anymore without finding an argument and obsceneties, and idiots like the person who was mocking me. I'd have thought you'd know that, and as such shouldn't be looking at it with a young lad. I don't like it any more than you do, but that's how it is. Maybe I shouldn't have sworn, but the guy annoyed the hell out of me. It wasn't an argument, it was one message. Keep your nose out.
