The Mallard at Kings Cross Metal Wall Sign (4 Sizes)
Number 4468 Mallard is a LNER A4 4-6- Pacific steam locomotive built at Doncaster, England in 1938. While in other respects a relatively typical member of its class, it is historically significant for being the holder of the world speed record for steam locomotives (July 3rd 1938 to be exact).
The Mallard, designed by Sir Nigel Gresley, is an express locomotive to power high-speed streamlined trains. Its wind-tunnel-tested, aerodynamic body allowed it to reach speeds of over 100 mph (160 km/h). The Mallard remained in service until 1963, when it retired, having covered almost one and a half million miles (2.4 million km). Our Mallard wall art is a perfect gift for a railway enthusiast or collector of vintage advertising.
