Holder of title of "fastest steam locomotive in the world", Mallard is one of the A4 Pacifics designed by Sir Nigel Gresley and emerging to service from the railway works in Doncaster in 1935. The first line, Silver Jubilee, on its first run broke many records. As one of the few British trains designed with streamlining in mind, this locomotive has had a long service life, and six remain preserved today. The Mallard is undoubtedly the most famous of the class, having broken the speed record on 03/07/1938 between Little Bytham and Essendine. Though this record is frequently criticised, as it depended heavily on many environmental factors and the locomotive emerged from attaining the record damaged, the fastest steam locomotive record has been achieved. These locomotives were designed to provide high speed express passenger services on the LNER, and provide such they do, even today on heritage lines. With this locomotive available to you, surely there is no way to resist such an elegant and effective machine. This locomotive can be run with the MK1 coaches by Fiend(Available Here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1994234240 )

Notes:
No, the pistons do NOT move. This is a restriction of the game engine. If/when steam locomotives are added, I will probably remaster this mod.
Sadly, since the game only considers "fuel" as a viable source of energy for non-electric locomotives, this train can not be run on Coal. Despite this, there are mods available to convert coal into fuel for such purposes.

Images: In the images there are two mods easily visible that are not of my own. The first is the MK1 Carriage by Fiend (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1994234240) and the second is the infrastructure texture mod by ЕХЕкутор (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2361977947&searchtext)

Change Log:

16/06/2021: Updated specular for tender. It should no longer glow as if it has been heated to 2000 Degrees Celsius.
