Thanks Ken, Duckie and Aries, a villian, had a conversation, in one episode, about the Mallard setting the land speed record and that the record had been challenged due to the concerns the track actually went down hill a bit. The Mallard must have been a hot rod non the less and sleek too!!

great series,regards mallard,it was a bit of a cheat,and its only due to driver,opening up when he should have shut down,he had 30 seconds from opening to shutting throttle,before the loco would have ceased up,and gresleys good sense to do it with a loco that had been in service for a while and was at its peak,that the record was broken,the bit that most people dont know or think about,was that had the station been a couple of hundred yards closer,he would not have stopped ken
