  • Great clip! Has it been built from scratch or have some parts been taken from other A1s?

  • Hi, Not a 100% sure,my guess,as all 49 A1's were scrapped by 1966,and none were preserved,it's a fair bet this replica A1 is built from scratch.

  • and God isnt she Beautiful.. A tribute to british workmanship, its a shame we dont build lots of things like this anymore in our "Throw away " society :(

  • Haven't they painted it green now?

  • absolutely beautiful!

  • this loco was built form scratch and also it isnt a replica, it was built as the next loco in the class, its the 50th A1.

  • Is this the most steam-tight locomotive around.  It looks better-built than the original series. Beautiful valve gear too. What a triumph...
