  • - Legend of the Track

    Legendary steam railway locomotives such as Flying Scotsman, Mallard, Stephenson's Rocket and City of Truro have been household names for generations and are now owned by the public. These are the locomotives that not only shaped global transport history but steered the evolution of the modern world, shrinking continents and making rapid transit between one-time faraway places an everyday occurrence affordable to all. The National Collection was amassed largely in the face of modernisation of the British railway network, when the introduction of diesel and electric locomotives in the Fifties led to the mass withdrawal and scrapping of many classic steam locomotive types. Officialdom decreed that examples should be preserved for posterity thus creating a fantastic legacy of locomotives big and small for future generations to relish. Locomotives of the National Collection, written by Heritage Railway magazine editor Robin Jones, looks at both the big named engines and the lesser-known workhorses, which richly deserve their place alongside them, all with their own stories to tell.

    On July 3, 1938, LNER A4 streamlined Pacific No. 4468 Mallard reached 126mph, setting a world steam speed record that has never been broken. It was the zenith of not only a great decade in which glamorous express trains competed to see which could travel from London to Scotland in the fastest time, but also the steam age itself. Author Robin Jones tells the story not only of LNER chief mechanical engineer Sir Nigel Gresley¿s Pacifics and Mallard¿s international headline-grabbing feat, but also that of the five other A4s still with us - including the `Mission Impossible¿ repatriation of Dwight D Eisenhower and Dominion of Canada and their cosmetic restoration in their `home¿ country - to make the `Great Gathering¿, one of the biggest and most successful events in the history of railway preservation, a dream come true

    This research presents the evidence that Mary Magdalene was the 'Beloved Disciple' whose identity is revealed at the foot of the cross. For almost 2,000 years the incorrect naming of the Fourth Gospel as 'The Gospel According to John' has misled its readers. It would be more correct to say 'The Gospel According to John if you believe Irenaeus.' Just as Church Fathers wanted a line of apostolic bishops linked to Peter and Paul, so they wanted the gospels attributed to people who were accepted by the Church. The Fourth Gospel shows that God views the qualifications for a Beloved Disciple differently to the traditional requirements of men. "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God" (John 1:12-13). The Fourth Gospel has much to reveal to those willing to search it out.
