Hello all! :D

Often regarded as among the most famous steam locomotives in the world, the Gresley Class A4 Pacifics of the LNER married exceptional art-deco styling with simple but sturdy underpinnings to create a perfect blend of form and function, presenting unmatched performance that allowed one of their kind, 4468 Mallard, to take home the record for world's fastest steam locomotive - an accolade it continues to maintain to this day.
