Tony Wright has penned a follow up email to his contribution to Tim Easter's Thompson A2 build topic - http://www.rmweb.co....225#entry843846 - so I thought I'd create a separate topic for the follow-up to save any distraction from Tim's builds.   Today's entry moves swiftly onwards from the building of a selection of Thompson A2s onto history and opinions of their performance in service.       A2/2 60501.
