Product Code: R30551SS
(Pre-Order Due 2026)
Production Details:
One of the most famous of all steam locomotives,
‘Mallard’ still holds the world speed record for steam. In July 1938, it
reached 126mph on Stoke Bank. Entering service in March of that year in
LNER Garter blue, it had full side valances and red wheels, as depicted
by our highly detailed model. It was renumbered 22 in 1946, by which
time it carried wartime plain black. When it was withdrawn from King’s
Cross in April 1963, it was in lined BR green and numbered 60022. The
locomotive is preserved in its original livery at the National Railway
Museum in York. 'Mallard' has always been one of our most popular
models. In 2026 we have given the A4 a tooling update and the model now
includes the new Hornby steam generator technology, working headlights
and tender lights. Technical Specification & Detail:
