steaming_chris Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 What a lot of people dont know is that Mr. Stanier and Mr. Bachmann had something secret on the drawing boards 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidBelcher Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 A de-streamlined A4. Ok so it looks just like an A3. Not much different under all that metalwork. Except for the tell-tale "wedge" cab. If the LNER had gone down the Duchess route and de-streamlined the A4s, I suspect the end result would have been a mix of the production series A1s and "Great Northern" in appearance.

steaming_chris Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Mr Collett and Mr Bachmann had some 0-8-0 frames hanging around so when these 56XX came in for overhaul different frames were added and put to use on short South Wales traffic 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matloughe Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 I love these; keep them coming! Personal favourite has to be the Tender Terrier, and a close second the stretched T9. I might have a go at the Tender Terrier... Cheers, ~ Matloughe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edge Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 What would have happened if the GWR and the LMS had agreed that the latter could build a batch of 'Castles' for their own use? I'm thinking of calling it 'Crewe Castle' 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzie Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 What if Brush used their successful class 31's as a basis for producing overhead electric versions? If I was a skilled graphics person I would try a skinhead version with twin diamond pantographs for Liverpool st. - Chelmsford DC operations.
