@Kenta19191919 Certainly did - it was Mallard herself! 3rd July 1938, Stoke Bank, 126.2mph - unbeaten! =D

@burnley5960 Obviously you haven't seen 6024 up hatton bank then!

@NickRatnieks Great Western Locos Dont Slip

@Kenta19191919 This is the Record Holder In Person

Splendid! I wish the age of steam would return...
-
@Kenta19191919 I know this is 2 years after your orginal quiestion but yes "Mallard" holds the world speed record for a steam locomotive of 126MPH,
-
I expect as there are so many comments somebody else has noted Mallard with KGV-at 3.00. KGV would have been withdrawn but had been rolled out of the shed for the occasion. Is the absence of any slipping because it was Western men on the footplate?

In the end... she was just another A4 to the engine men of BR...
-
Beautiful sound of the A4 whistle
-
I know I am committing heresy by saying this, but to my American ears that whistle sounds awful
Did you film this?

One of this type hit the world speed record, right?

I think you might be referring to one of my uploaded clips called "Silver Jubilee" Record Run. Have a look anyway!
