EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Mallard, a London & North Eastern Railway locomotive that holds an esteemed place in railway history. In this particular image, taken on 26 April 1987, Mallard is seen pulling a special train known as The Scarborough Flyer to commemorate the Friends of the National Railway Museum's 10th anniversary. This historic journey takes passengers from Harrogate through Leeds and York, ultimately heading towards the picturesque destination of Scarborough. Designed by the brilliant Sir Nigel Gresley, chief engineer of LNER, Mallard belongs to the A4 Pacific class. Its sleek and powerful appearance perfectly embodies the golden era of steam locomotives. However, what truly sets Mallard apart is its remarkable achievement on 3 July 1938 when it shattered world records by reaching an astonishing speed of 126 mph (203 kph). To this day, no other steam locomotive has surpassed this incredible feat. This print not only captures a momentous occasion but also pays homage to the ingenuity and engineering prowess behind Mallard's design.
