The A4 class of the London and North Eastern Railway
I said above that
Flying Scotsman
must be the most
famous steam locomotive of all, but
Mallard
would give her
a run for her money. There is something about the shape of the
A4s that set them apart. Even though they were not the shape of
things to come (as thought in the 1930s), they somehow blended the
aesthetics of classic steam locomotive design with a futuristic
look. I remember owning a Dinky Toy
Silver Link
loco and
carriages, and it always had pride of place amongst the other Dink
Toys that I had.
