You don't have to own or have built a loco to belong to the Havelock North Live Steamers club. If you have an interest in model engineering, and want to be involved with the club as a hobby, contact us for more information.
The record run of the "Mallard" on July 3rd, 1938 reached a speed of 125 mph, with a peak at 126 mph for a few seconds. After that it ran at a speed of at least 120 mph for another three miles. The Mallard was one of many Gresley Class A4 steam engines built by LNER in the 1930s for high speed passenger transport along the East Coast Mainline (London-Edinburgh).
