  1. Compare it to Dwight next to it which is spotless

    Actually Dwight was in a worse physical state because the Americans had grit blasted the loco, then filled up the hundreds of holes made and finally painted the loco a weird shade of green. The motion had all been painted as well (I think). DOC was still carrying its 1967 paint job until 2012 which stood the test of time pretty well. However, Dwight is in better condition mechanically.

  2. A4s with corridor tenders and single chimney were:

     

    Silver Link (double chimney fitted 10/1957)

    Quicksilver (double chimney fitted 8/1957)

    Silver Fox (double chimney fitted 5/1957)

    Falcon (double chimney fitted 9/1958)

    Merlin (double chimney fitted 2/1958)

    Sea Eagle (double chimney fitted 11/1957)

    Union Of South Africa (double chimney fitted 11/1958)

    Dominion Of Canada (double chimney fitted 12/1957)

    Empire Of India (double chimney fitted 1/1958)

    Commonwealth Of Australia (double chimney fitted 7/19580

    Dominion Of New Zealand (double chimney fitted 7/1958)

    Woodcock (double chimney fitted 10/1958)

    Osprey (double chimney fitted 7/1957) it only had a corridor tender until 9/1955

    Golden Fleece (double chimney fitted 5/1958)

    Dwight D Eisenhower (double chimney fitted 8/1958) it only had a corridor tender until 4/1957

    Golden Plover (double chimney fitted 3/1958)

    Sir Nigel Gresley (double chimney fitted 12/1957)

     

    There were two different types of corridor tender which complicates matters but there is a website here that will give you the info on tender changes:

    Hope this helps
