Pre Streamlining
Devoid of her streamlining casing, Gresley LNER A4 Pacific 4468 Mallard still cuts a fine sight as she leaves the confines of the NRM after restoration in September 1985.
The ECML main line and York Minster are in the background.
Personally, I prefer it before the streamlined vallance, or side skirting, was re-applied, as in this photo. These were first removed during World War II to ease maintenance and not replaced until after preservation in 1963.
