Run the Bigjigs Rail Mallard battery operated engine on wooden train tracks for realistic play. This replica of the iconic British steam locomotive is sourced from the UK and features magnetic couplings for easy connection.
Built in 1938, Mallard is part of the class of A4 locomotives designed by Sir Nigel Gresley. With its unique wedge-shaped design, the Mallard had a distinct Art Deco style and helped reduce the journey time from London King's Cross to Newcastle to just 4 hours.
In the summer of 1938, Mallard raced down Stoke Bank and set a new steam locomotive world speed record of 126 mph - a record that still stands today!
This delightful replica of the Mallard locomotive powers along a wooden train track with ease, either as a solo engine or with carriages attached via its magnetic coupling.
Mallard is a battery operated train that requires 2 x AAA batteries (not included). Magnetic couplings ensure compatibility with all other engines and carriages in the Bigjigs Rail range. Most other major wooden railway brands are compatible with Bigjigs Rail. Conforms to current European safety standards.
