		This class of locomotive was also noted for its streamlined design, which not only assisted in its aerodynamics, thus increasing its speed, but also created an updraught to lift smoke from the driver's vision, a problem inherent in the earlier A3 design.
		The Class A4 locomotives were known affectionately by train spotters as "streaks".

	LNER Class A4 4468 Mallard - Definition, explanation
		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.
		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 Little Bytham and Essendine.
		Mallard was the perfect vehicle for such an endeavour; 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.

	The Gresley A4 Pacifics
		The wedge-shaped streamlining on the A4 was inspired by a Bugatti rail-car which Gresley had observed in France.
		Due to the expense of keeping her in running condition and the popularity of her as an exhibit at York, she will be kept in a static condition for the foreseeable future.
		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.

	LNER Class A4 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		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.
		At the end of the record attempt, the middle big end (part of the motion for the inside cylinder) was found to have run hot, the bearing metal having melted, which meant that the locomotive had to stop at Peterborough rather than continue on to London.
