The Hornby LNER Class A4 Mallard is the perfect steam locomotive to your model railway collection.
The LNER Gresley A4 is one of the most iconic express locomotives in Great Britain, with its streamlined casing a classic symbol of the attitude towards speed and design in the 1930s, which saw increased competition to the railways from road and air travel. The LNER Board knew that they had to make travel between the major cities faster, comfortable and more reliable.
The most famous of the A4 locomotives, the Mallard broke and still holds the world record for the highest speed achieved by a steam locomotive. The Mallard would go on to serve under BR as 60022 before being withdrawn in early 1963 having been earmarked for preservation as early as 1960, its historical significance recognised and understood.
