Prototype Era
Era 4 (1948 to 1956) British Railways Early Crest
Manufacturer description
Having been neglected during the wartime years while based at Grantham Shed, numbered as 22 and having been paired with a Corridor Tender, Mallard's prestige was restored with a move back to Kings Cross on 11 April, 1948 and was the last A4 to regain the Garter Blue Livery.
British Railways experimented with their own versions of Blue and on 16 September, 1949, Mallard, now numbered 60022, emerged from Doncaster Works in the new BR Blue for Steam Locomotives.
