EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in railway history. On Sunday 3rd July 1938, the magnificent Mallard, an A4 Pacific class steam locomotive designed by Sir Nigel Gresley, achieved an extraordinary feat. Racing past Little Bytham at a breathtaking speed of 123 mph (198 km/h), Mallard's power seemed unstoppable. But it didn't stop there; over the next 1 and a quarter miles (2 km), its velocity continued to rise. Incredibly, for one quarter mile (0.4 km) stretch, this mighty engine touched an astonishing speed of 126 mph (203 km/h). This remarkable achievement secured Mallard's place in history as it became the world record holder for steam traction. Fast forward to 1993 when this iconic locomotive found its resting place outside the National Railway Museum in York. The streamlined beauty of Mallard is showcased here with pride and reverence. Its sleek design and powerful presence serve as a reminder of the incredible engineering prowess that once ruled the railways. The London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) can take great pride in their chief engineer Sir Nigel Gresley for his visionary work on creating such an exceptional machine. Mallard represents not only a triumph of engineering but also symbolizes progress, innovation, and breaking boundaries. As we gaze upon this photograph print today, we are transported back to that fateful day in July 1938 when Mallard made history by setting a world speed record
