James with Mallard

This is James with probably the most famous steam train in the world "Mallard".

Mallard is the holder of the official world speed record for steam locomotives at 125.88 mph (202.58 km/h).
The record was achieved on 3 July 1938 on the slight downward grade of Stoke Bank south of Grantham
on the East Coast Main Line, and the highest speed was recorded at milepost 90¼, between Little
Bytham and Essendine.
