Designed by the brilliant Sir Nigel Gresley, this class A4 locomotive was a masterpiece of engineering during its time. Built at the renowned Doncaster railway works for the London & North Eastern Railway, it quickly became a symbol of power and speed. On that fateful Sunday of July 3rd, 1938, history was made as this magnificent locomotive shattered records on a straight stretch of track between Grantham and Peterborough. With an astonishing speed of 126 mph, Mallard achieved what seemed impossible - a new world record for steam locomotives that remains unbroken to this day. In this particular image, we witness Mallard proudly hauling a Post Office coach along the Manchester-Scarborough line. The sheer elegance and strength exuded by this machine are truly awe-inspiring. Its sleek design coupled with its unparalleled performance make it an everlasting symbol of British engineering excellence. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph from the National Railway Museum collection, we are transported back in time to an era when steam ruled supreme on our railways.
