The Class A4 is a class of streamlined 4-6-2 steam locomotive designed by Nigel Gresley for the London and North Eastern Railway in 1935. Their streamlined design gave them high-speed capability as well as making them instantly recognizable, and one of the class, 4468 Mallard, has the official record as the fastest steam locomotive in the world. Thirty-five of the class were built to haul express

passenger trains on the East Coast Main Line route from London Kings Cross via York and Newcastle upon Tyne to Edinburgh, Scotland. They remained in service on the East Coast mainline until the early 1960s when they were replaced by Deltic diesel locomotives. Several A4s saw out their remaining days until 1966 in Scotland, particularly on the Aberdeen - Glasgow 3-hour express trains, for which they were used improve the timing from 3.5 hours.
