Hard to believe, but the locomotive was designed and built back in 1938 as an engineer Nigel Greysli (Nigel Gresley) as an engine specially designed for driving high-speed trains. Contours of his cowl were tested in a wind tunnel at speeds of over 160 km / h. This car set a world speed record for steam locomotives, July 3, 1938 she developed 202.7 kilometers per hour. It's amazing, of course, for the time. It is called the locomotive LNER Class A4.
