I just liked this old UK photo of an LNER A1 being groomed, long ago: http://abpr.railfan.net/abprphoto.cgi?m ... 8_2545.jpg All of the original A1s, to my knowledge, were rebuilt into A3s, of which 4472 is the sole survivor. A newer group of A1s were built after the war. The replica currently under construction will duplicate this latter class. |

Where is the duplicate being built? Just the "saddle" itself must weigh as much as a Prairie class 2-6-2! |
