Mallard Cufflinks

£20.00

The Mallard Number 4468 was a London and North Eastern Railway Class A4 4-6-2 Pacific steam locomotive built at Doncaster, England in 1938. While in other respects a relatively typical member of its class, it is historically significant for being the holder of the official world speed record for steam locomotives at 126mph.

Mallard was in service until 1963, when it was retired, having covered almost one and a half million miles.

It was restored to working order in the 1980s, but has not operated since, apart from hauling some specials between York and Scarborough in July 1986 and a couple of runs between York and Harrogate/Leeds around Easter 1987. Mallard is now part of the National Collection at the United Kingdom's National Railway Museum in York. These splendid cufflinks in antique rhodium finish celebrate thisn iconic train. Complete with swivel posts and in a metal presentation box they make a great gift for any lover of the Age of Steam.
