LNER Class A4

	lner (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		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.

	LNER A4 class (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Sir Nigel Gresley introduced the famous A4 class locomotive in 1935 to pull a new train called the Silver Jubilee, between London King's Cross and Newcastle, in celebration of King George V's 25th year of reign.
		The A4 pacifics were designed for low consumption of coal and water on all kinds of services; passenger and freight.
		The A4 class locomotives were known to train spotters as "streaks".

		LNER A4 class 4468 Mallard in the news
		London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) A4 class 4468 Mallard is an LNER A4 Pacific class steam locomotive built in the 1930s by the LNER and designed by Sir Nigel Gresley in England.
		It is notable that, unlike the world records for automobiles, there is no requirement for an average of two runs in both directions, and assistance from gradient or wind has always been acceptable in rail speed records.

	mallard train
		Mallard is an LNER A4 Pacific class steam locomotive built in the 1930s by the LNER and designed by Sir Nigel Gresley in England.
		Gresley LNER A4 Pacific Mallard is the holder of the world speed record for steam locomotives at 126 mph (approx 202 km/h).
		The record was achieved on July 3, 1938 on the slight downwards grade of Stoke Bank south of Grantham on the East Coast Main Line, and the highest speed was recorded at milepost 90¼, between the towns of Little Blytham and Essendine.

	4-6-4
		The 4-6-4 is best seen as combining the basic nature of the 4-6-2 Pacific type with an improved boiler and larger firebox that required extra support at the rear of the locomotive.
		The only 4-6-4 tender locomotive in Great Britain was LNER No. 10000, built in 1930 as an experimental high-pressure compound locomotive with an experimental water-tube boiler, and known as the "hush-hush" locomotive on account of the great secrecy with which it was built.
		After its rebuild, the W1 was easily distinguishable from an A4 at a glance, without looking for the extra trailing wheels, by the fact that it was never named; it was therefore known to train spotters as "the no-name streak".

	A3 LNER Pacific - The Flying Scotsman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The idea of a new Pacific class is reputed to owe much to Gresley's admiration for the design of the Pennsylvania Railroad Class `K4s' (another popular Aster model from the 1980's).
		Although the 'K4s' was a two-cylinder express Pacific design with a Belpaire firebox, Gresley found much of interest in the layout and proportions of this classic American design.
		The Pacific wheel configuration had been tried already in express design in the UK with the GWR's - 'The Great Bear' but Gresley was looking for something altogether more advanced than this singular concept.

	The A4 LOCOMOTIVE SOCIETY LIMITED
		The nameplates were unveiled by William Whitelaw, the Chairman of the LNER, who also presented Sir Nigel Gresley with a miniature silver replica of the locomotive to commemorate the occasion.
		During May 1966 the locomotive was purchased by the A4 Preservation Society for £4,500, the Society having raised the money by public appeal and from the proceeds of rail tours.
		The Society decided that the locomotive should be restored in the Garter Blue livery in which it was painted originally, bearing its LNER number 4498 and with modifications that had been made over the years to improve the performance of A4s.

	LNER 4-6-2 Pacific Locomotives
		The LNER's Express Pacific designs were probably the most famous of the LNER locomotives.
		The emergence of the Pacific designs in Britain coincided with the Grouping in the early 1920s.
		The LNER quickly converted to using Pacifics for "top link" express passenger services, and would continue to introduce new Pacific express passenger designs right up to Nationalisation in 1948.

		Number 4468 Mallard is a London and North Eastern Railway Class A4 4-6-2 Pacific steam locomotive built in the 1930s by the LNER and designed by Sir Nigel Gresley in England.
		Other steam locomotives were probably capable of such speeds; the LNER's long, straight, slightly downhill raceway of Stoke Bank played as much of a part in the record as the locomotive or crew.
		It is notable that, unlike world records for cars, there is no requirement for an average of two runs in both directions, and assistance from gradient or wind has always been acceptable in rail speed records.

		Both would later be knighted for their roles as chief mechanical engineers for LNER (London North Eastern Railway) and LMS (London Midland and Scotland) respectively.
		Railways are now controlled by LMS (London Midland Scottish), LNER (London North Eastern Railway), GWR (Great Western Railway) and Southern Railway.
		Driver Joe Duddington takes her to 126 mph, attaining a new speed record for a steam train that would never be broken.

		A very fine model of LNER A1 class pacific as BR 60114 "W.P.Allen" in the Doncaster varient of LNER's apple green livery.
		Although wearing LNER livery the tender is lettered 'British Railways', representing the locomotive immediately after nationalisation when new and overhauled locomotives were lettered for the new company, but new liveries had yet to be agreed.
		This highly detailed model of the Gresley designed A4 class pacific in the LNER garter blue livery is fitted with side valences and a blank-ended tender.

		Both clockwork and electric sets were available before the war and the couplings could not be uncoupled automatically.
		Pre-war locomotives were limited to an LNER valanced A4 Pacific named ‘Sir Nigel Gresley’ and an 0-6-2 tank engine that looked like an LNER Class N2 but which, in true Hornby tradition, was available in the liveries of the big four companies (with detail concessions to the GWR).
		After the war, the Peco automatic coupling was adopted as standard and the buildings, when they reappeared, were diecast in aluminium.

		The first train to achieve over 100mph was the Plymouth to London mail train, hauled by GWR 4-4-0 'City of Truro' on 9th May 1904.
		Mallard - LNER A4 Class Pacific - achieved the fastest recorded speed for a steam hauled train in 1938 - 126mph.
		The fastest passenger service trains today are the Japanese 'Shinkansen' or 'bullet' trains - regularly running at a maximum speed of 350kph (220 mph).

		Actually, this shows ex-LNER Class A4 Pacific No. 60009 "Union of South Africa", which had worked a railtour in the area.
		These locomotives have strong connections to Ferryhill, for in the 1960s during the rise of Diesel locomotives British Railways (Scottish Region) surprisingly introduced a 3 hour Aberdeen-Glasgow service using Class A4 pacifics (supplemented by A3s and V2s..and vitually any other type of loco still in working order!).
		These spectacular workings continued, not in the least bit helped by the complete disasters being experienced with their chosen successors the North British Type 2s (Class 21s), until 1967 or 1968.

		This was approximately half the size of the ‘0’ gauge system except that the locomotives had cast metal bodies, not pressed metal, and the buildings were made of wood.
		Both clockwork and electric sets were available before the Second World War, although these were limited to Sir Nigel Gresley, an LNER A4 Class Pacific, and an LNER Class N2 tank locomotive in the liveries of the ‘big four’ companies of the time (GWR, LMS, LNER and SR).
		Production stopped during the Second World War (1939 - 1945) but Hornby Dublo soon reappeared once the war was over, although without a clockwork range.
