VIRGINIAN AE 2-10-10-2
ANNIVERSARY SERIES
ARRIVING LATE AUGUST

These ten locomotives were built in 1918 by ALCo for the Virginian Railway. Due to size limitations en route, the locomotives were delivered without cab or the front, low pressure cylinders, which were installed on site. The low pressure cylinders at 48 inch (1.22 m) diameter were the largest ever used on a US locomotive; they had to be tilted slightly upward to provide sufficient clearance.

As can be seen in the photograph, the tenders fitted were unusually small; this was to enable them to fit on the Virginian Railway's turntables. (wikipedia)

Mallard was designed by Sir Nigel Gresley as an express locomotive specially built to power high-speed streamlined trains. Its wind-tunnel-tested, aerodynamic body allowed it to reach speeds of over 100 mph (160 km/h). Mallard was in service until 1963, when it was retired, having covered almost one and a half million miles (2.4 million km).

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 the only surviving A4 in LNER livery and in as-built original condition with side valances (although the valances are replicas).

Mallard is now part of the National Collection at the United Kingdom's National Railway Museum in York.
