🚂 Did Mallard really hit 126mph?
In July 1938, Sir Nigel Gresley claimed Mallard hit 125mph down Stoke Bank. A decade later, that figure had crept up to 126mph. So what does the evidence actually show?
In our latest video, engineer and broadcaster Rob Bell MEng explores the IMechE archives, examining dynamometer rolls and historic technical papers to uncover the story behind the data.
📺 Watch now and tell us your verdict.

Happy International Women’s Day 💜
Through our support of Primary Engineer, we helped bring engineering directly into classrooms. 49% of participating students were girls and young women, compared to just 17% of women currently working in engineering in the UK.
As Jelena Gacesa, our Education Outreach and Safeguarding Lead, explains, Primary Engineer connects every stage of the engineering pipeline, inspiring young people to design real solutions and see their ideas brought to life.
This year’s theme is Give To Gain. Could you give your time to inspire the next generation?
