  4469 Sir Ralph Wedgwood was the only A4 that was destroyed by bomb at York Station on April 28/29, 1942 during the Baedeker blitz and never made it to BR days.

  Shame that none of the original Peppercorn A1s were preserved. It would have been better if we had ten original Peppercorn A1s in preservation

  Won’t be long till we get to have bittern return back to the mainline again because they are about to start the overhaul on her and return her to the mainline and make her the second A4 loco to join sir Nigel gresley for the mainline return

  It’s a shame that 60014 Silver Link didn’t make it into preservation. Billy Butlin wanted to buy Silver Link for preservation at his camp. Butlin was unsuccessful because the Eastern Region of British Railways messed him up and instead he bought Duchess of Hamilton and Sutherland instead.

  06/12 22 Just scrolling around watching steam locos at home in Knebworth. lmagine my surprise when almost at the start A4s are shown passing through Knebworth too. 5 days ago 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley passed through in black wartime livery hauling a special & returning after dark too showing it's distinctive brass nameplate on a bright red background. I'm a boy again ! Strictly speaking SNG would have had a 4 digit number during pre-nationalised times. Further down the track at Langley Troughs the LNER & Great North Road run parallel & what was once closeby open land is now covered in Retail Parks. Curious to know about the unidentified A4s shown later in the vid' - Prototypes ? Talking of boyhood times l'm sure l came across streamlined B1s, 616..'s photo's steaming through East Anglia in a library book (?). Do remember there was an unnamed loco, 60700, streamlined too - think it was the first to be scrapped.

  Only 6 A4s remain in preservation both 60008 and 60010 both reside in America and Canada respectively and the other 4 Remain in Britain and 60022 is currently on display in York after its last run in 1988 leaving 60007 60009 and 60019 as the only A4s still remain active on the mainline

  I actually cried, it's so sad that not many of these locos are left, there should be more Gresley locos preserved (A1,A3,P2,A4 etc), there are so many Bullieds and Panniers etc.. What about the greatest one, Sir Nigel Gresley. These butiful beasts are just incredible machines, I love the A4's so so much, there should be more...

  So did I ; just now . These wonderful machines combined with Sir Edward Elgar's stirring music ( they should have named an A4 after him ) . It was a heinous crime that most of them were scrapped ; the ones named after various parts of the British Empire should , at the very least , have been sent to those countries . Classic Bentleys were never scrapped , so why scrap these wonderful machines ; it would be like scrapping Concordes today

• 
  @andrewwilliams23532 жыл бұрын

  It was the standard tender for the Castle class's predecessor the Star class. Also used on the Saint class - the predecessor of the GWR hall class. The design was updated in the early 1920s to provide greater water and coal capacity, by C B Collett the designer of the Castles, Kings and Halls, to name a few.
