Description Mach is a LNER B12 with eight driving wheels (real B12s have six driving wheels) he was built in 1933 for the London North Eastern Railway. In 1934, his was an 0-8-0 and when he had his first passenger train, he derailed on a curved track and had to be sent to crewe to get repaired. The Mechanic was like "Ok, we need a boagie at the front of the driving wheels. And it's called a pony truck." Then another man was like " What the hell is a pony truck?" A pony truck is a boagie that is placed in the front of driving wheels. Then in 1947, Mach was reclassified as a 4-8-0 and ran in service for 30 years. In 1984, he was sold to Sir Topham hatt for no reason why. Then in 1987, he worked on Sir Topham Hatt's Railway on Edward's Branch line carrying passengers from station to station. Even to this day he still works best. LOL
