Mallard - How the `Blue Streak' Broke the World Speed Record (Hale Don)(Paperback / softback) - diskuze
EAN: 9780750991513
Just over 80years ago on the East Coast main line, the streamlined A4 Pacific locomotive Mallard reached a top speed of 126mph--a world record for steam locomotives that still stands. Since then, millions have seen this famous locomotive, resplendent in her blue livery, on display at the National Railway Museum in York.

He also celebrates Mallard's designer, Sir Nigel Gresley, one of Britain's most gifted engineers. Mallard is a wonderful tribute to one of British technology's finest
