    No one will care about a new speed record, any more than they’d care about a formula 1 car made of Bakelite. It’s an arms race no one is competing in, a curiosity and little more. Mallard is an emblem of much more than a number. Simon

    Another workday with five people attending saw the weld repairs to the underframe of #676 completed and then the undersealing finished. Then the "old "W" iron had to be temporarily bolted back so the wagon could be moved in a shunt next week....
