		Mallard is the only surviving A4 in LNER livery and in as-built original condition with side valances (although the valances are replicas).
		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.

		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.
		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.
		An A4 appears in an animated Irn-Bru Christmas 2006 advert, a parody of The Snowman, where it is seen passing over Glenfinnan Viaduct, despite the fact that the class is too heavy for the West Highland Line [1].

		Mallard, No. 4468, took this further, for on July 3rd 1938, during brake trails, she acheived a world speed record for a steam locomotive at a speed of 126 mph, and doing so, melted all the bearing metal in her middle big-end.
		Outward changes made to the A4, other than the addition of double chimneys and three variations of tender, was the removal of the valances, this was for lubrication purposes, due to restrictions created by the fl out in WWII.
		Having reached their pinnacle of acheivement of a distinguished career, the class generally proved their competence on all types of duty, from mundane freight haulage to running the 'Flying Scotsman' with loads of some 550 tons between London and Grantham on an even daily time.

		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).
		Minitrix also used to sell an N Gauge A4, but as with their other British steam models it was forced to fit a pre-existing continental chassis and was not very accurate.

	4-6-2
		In the United States and Britain, the 4-6-2 locomotive type was named the Pacific, according to some sources after some early locomotives of this type built for the Missouri Pacific Railroad.
		The term Pacific comes from the fact that the New Zealand Railways (NZR) were the first to purchase and operate a proper 4-6-2 wheel arrangement in 1901, with the order of 13 being placed with Baldwin.
		The only application of this wheel arrangement in Austria was in tank locomotives of class 629, built from 1913 on.
