    The tantalizing prospect of an A1, A2, A3 & A4 lineup draws ever closer.

    BP's overhaul looks very thorough.

    A4 - BR Express Passenger Blue

    Talk about Famine to feast of 8Ps by 2025 we could have Tornado, Blue Peter, Prince of Whales, Duke of Gloucester, Sir Nigel, and probably one of the Kings, One or two Merchants, (maybe a Duchess still ? )
    Lets hope we can still get some coal.
