Hornby Mallard Record Breaker Train Set
Hornby Mallard Record Breaker Train Set On the 3rd of July 1938 the LNER A4 locomotive ‘Mallard’ set the world speed record for a steam engine at 126 mph at Stoke Bank, south of Grantham. Years later with the nationalisation of the railways the locomotive’s feat was not forgotten, with ‘Mallard’ maintaining its celebrity status among the trainspotters of the day while continuing to haul express passenger trains along the East Coast Mainline. This Train Set encapsulates the enduring allure of ‘Mallard’ as it would have appeared during the early 1950s.
