		This class of locomotive was also noted for its streamlined design, which not only improved its aerodynamics, thus increasing its speed capabilities, but also created an updraught to lift smoke away from the driver's vision, a problem inherent in the earlier A3 design.
		The A4 Class locomotives were known affectionately by train spotters as "streaks".
		A4 No.4498 was the hundredth Gresley pacific to be built and someone had the idea of naming it after the designer himself, which was a nice gesture.

		Sir Nigel Gresley introduced the famous LNER Class A4 locomotives 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 (with the 4-6-2 wheel arrangement) were designed for low consumption of coal and water on all kinds of services; passenger and freight.

		Sir Nigel Gresley introduced the LNER Class A4 locomotives in 1935 to haul a new train called the Silver Jubilee between London King's Cross and Newcastle.
		This device improved the free-steaming capabilities of the locomotives further, and the final three locomotives of the class (4901 Capercaillie, 4902 Seagull and 4903 Peregrine) were also fitted with the Kylchap exhaust from new, and eventually the rest of the class were fitted with it (by BR) in the late 1950s.

	Science Fair Projects - LNER Class A4 4468 Mallard
		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.
		Mallard was the perfect vehicle for such an endeavor; one of a 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.
		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.

		In May he was taken by his father to Scotland where he encountered the A4 class and was even given the treat of a journey to Newcastle and back (on the return journey the train engine was an A4 Silver King).
		Long letter which covers several aspects of the Claughton class, notably the high fuel consumption and low mileages between repairs, mainly due to lack of mechanical lubrication and inadequate ashpans due to the pitch of the boilers which was too low.
		Bandw: 517 class no 202 in July 1901 on Abbotsbury branch freight, Small prarie no 5571 in July 1956 on passenger train at Blue Anchor with author sitt6ing of the fence (a characteristic pose?), 517 class on auto-train at St Agnes station soon after opening, Hannington station in c1908 on local passenger.

	The Mallard
		The Mallard was one of many Gresley Class A4 steam engines built by LNER in the 1930s for high speed passenger transport along the East Coast Mainline (London-Edingburgh) shown in blue on the map.
		I believe that the Mallard was the first A4 fitted with Kylchap exhaust and had had about three months of service at the time of the speed run.
		A large proportion of the Class A4 steam engines have been preserved by the Class A4 society and according to them are now in better condition than they ever were in the 1930s.

	The Gresley A4 Pacifics
		The LNER's Express Pacific designs were probably the most famous of the LNER locomotives.
		The wedge-shaped streamlining on the A4 was inspired by a Bugatti rail-car which Gresley had observed in France.
		The LNER only claimed a peak average of 125mph - so breaking the world record for steam traction held by the German State Railways (124.5mph) and the British record set by the LMS (114mph).

	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.

		More recently, a stylised animated A4 is seen in the opening titles of the early David Suchet Poirot adaptations.
		A similar animated A4 was seen in the opening credits of the ITV programme The South Bank Show, in which it is seen at the head of a Pullman train racing beneath Marilyn Monroe's skirts.

		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 of the class to be withdrawn from BR service was ‘Silver Link’ in the December of 1962.
		Not all of the class were immediately withdrawn as some were sent north to Scotland where they handled services from Edinburgh to Aberdeen and on the Waverley route from Carlisle to Edinburgh.
