	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/LNER Class A4 4468 Mallard
		Number 4468 Mallard is a London and North Eastern Railway Class A4 4-6-2 Pacific steam locomotive designed by Sir Nigel Gresley and built at Doncaster, England in 1938.
		Mallard is the holder of the world speed record for steam locomotives at 126 mph (203 km/h).
		Mallard was the perfect vehicle for such an endeavour; one of the A4 class of streamlined locomotives designed for sustained 100+ mph (160 km/h) running, it was one of a small number equipped with a double chimney and double Kylchap blastpipe, which made for improved draughting and better exhaust flow at speed.

		The LNER, as its name suggests, covered the arc of the country between North and East of London.
		The public face of a railway system was and is in large part the locomotives and rolling stock in service upon it, and therefore the personalities of the Chief Mechanical Engineers of the LNER impressed their distinctive visions upon the railway.
		Sir Nigel Gresley was the first CME and held the post for the greatest proportion of the LNER's life, and thus he had the greatest effect on the company.

		The A4’s were developed as part of the race to the north that the LNER was competing in against the LMS, both companies wanting to gain the fastest speed/journey time to Scotland.
		The first four of the class were introduced to haul the LNER’s new service which used silver liveried specially designed streamlined coaches the train being named ‘Silver Jubilee’, after the coronation celebration of 1935, running from London to Newcastle.
		The first engine to be rolled out of Doncaster works was LNER No.2509 ‘Silver Link’, having been given priority construction at the works and rolled out in the September the order only having been placed in the March of that year.

		The âMallardâ was built in 1937 at a cost of 8,500 (Pounds Stirling) and remained in service until 1963.
		The A4 class was developed for high speed passenger transport along the East Coast Mainline London-Edinburgh route, as a rival project to the LMS Silver Link which operated through the Midlands from London to Glasgow.
		Developed in a series of wind tunnel tests, the body evolved to minimise aerodynamic drag, but also featured depressions around the chimney to cause an effect to ensure clearance of the smoke away from the drivers view.
