And this is the world-famous Mallard
fastest steam engine in the world. It still holds the record.
On the 3rd of July 1938 the
Mallard broke the world speed record by
travelling at 126 miles per hour its 203
km/h on a slightly downward grade of line
just south of Grantham. And this record
is remarkable in that it still stands
today this is the fastest steam engine
on earth
Okay this is the test equipment they used
on the record breaking run.
Look at that. That's real em... Steampunk
but this is real, that is the real deal.
Look at the carriage. How beautiful it is. Beautiful. Every little detail just so carefully thought about.
So it just didn't function. It looked great as well. Bizarre!
These days we're kind of er, very utilitarian. It says there. Dynamometer
