Sirbu4 Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Anyone have any information, or know where it might be found, about the dates (year would do) when lipped chimneys and streamlined domes were applied to the ex-LNER Thompson A2/3 Pacifics?

Ken.W Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Lipped chimneys were fitted from July '51, except for 60514/9 which retained the original style. Boilers varied considerably. No spares of the original Dia.117 type were built, and from July '48 boilers of the Peppercorn Dia.118 type were considered interchangeable. All A2/3s carried a Dia.118 at some stage, although two carried a one for two separate periods, and another two ended up with Dia.117s again. Best source for dates on individual locos is the RCTS 'green book' part 2A Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
