DonnyRailMan Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 The two latest Pepercorn Class A1s that are due out soon is there any firm news when they will hit the shops. I like the look of 60122 Curlew in B R Express Blue would look nice along side Tornado and my other two Class A1s. The second of the two A1s 60117 in B R Appel Green dose not carry it`s name of Bois Roussel . Why have Bachmann give the A1 it`s number but not the name of 60117 ?. I must say I am interested in the Curlew 60122 though I resisted getting Tornado in blue did not want to double up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must say I am interested in the Curlew 60122 though I resisted getting Tornado in blue did not want to double up. Because when first built it carried no name...in common with other A1's. It did not remain in Apple Green for long.btw. I'll give you an example. I was taken to the end of Platform 10 at King's Cross to watch the departure of the Flying Scotsman in 1950. The train loco was A1 60144.I was disappointed. It carried no name. Only later did it receive the name "King's Courier" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverlink Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Another loco that never carried a name for several years which was thought to have necer been named was 60133 later named Pommern. Only one A1 carried a name whilst in Apple Green, 60114 W.P.ALLEN Cheers Ian H Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold farren Posted October 22, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 22, 2015 Might have to get another A1 have Bachmann manage to get the cab and tender bottom to line up yet? And does anyone know if there a way of putting that right on the older model. Great Eastern Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
