Sorry chaps, it's B.R. green for me please - even so, 60163 is a great achievement for which all concerned deserve great credit.
-
yeh , and i heard that tornados boiler ticket is around twice as long as a preseved engine because tornados is a new build boiler
-
no , a man purchesed a fully working A1 peppercorn for around £40 { around £100,00 today} and he missed every payment and the engine was cut up instead. im sure which one it was
-
The last Peppercorn A1 had been removed from service in 1966 or something like that...and none of them were kept for display...:-(
-
All A1s were scrapped in the 1960's
-
It's 2 feet longer, about 16 tons heavier than the A3 design and has a slightly lower coal and water capacity. So yes it is larger but only by a very tiny amount (not noticeable to the naked eye unless you were close up and had a tape measure).
Bare in mine when comparing the A1 & A3 design that Tornado was built with different design techniques and such and hence you can't use original A1 specs to make a comparison to 4472 (an A3).
-
Because sometimes it's easier to build from scratch.
Besides, most of the worthwhile locomotives have been restored. At some point you're going to have build them from scratch if you want anymore.
I mean there are 20 Bulleid Pacifics still around so why do you need to restore a rusty burnt out one when you could build something different?
-
why couldn't they just restore a locmotive in need of restoration. instead of building a new one. it would of been much nicer to see a loco from the dump brought to life again
does look awesome, quality of footage infuriatingly poor but thanks to who ever took the trouble...

Sorry for the poor quality, You can only do so much on the spur of the moment on a mobile phone.
