EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic Gresley A4 class No. 4468 Mallard, known as the world steam speed record holder, gracefully making its way along the picturesque Settle & Carlisle Railway. Against the backdrop of Pen-y-Ghent's distinctive slope, Mallard's smoke box reflects a trail of billowing smoke, symbolizing both power and elegance. Restored to its former glory in 1988 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of its record-breaking achievement, Mallard proudly dons its striking garter blue livery. Throughout its restored years, this magnificent steam engine embarked on numerous excursions, enchanting passengers with a nostalgic journey through time. However, today Mallard has found solace in static display at the National Railway Museum (NRM) in York. Its presence within these hallowed walls serves as a testament to not only its historical significance but also as an inspiration for future generations fascinated by railway heritage. The date stamped on this photograph is September 16th, 1996 - forever marking it as a cherished moment captured during that era. This image encapsulates not just an engine or a train but also represents an emblematic piece of transportation history that shattered records when it reached an astonishing speed of 126mph. Mike Maloney's lens skillfully preserves this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints; reminding us all of the awe-inspiring beauty and engineering marvels that once roamed our railways during those remarkable times in the 1990s.
