    I know very little about the W1 post rebuild, by then had it basically become an A4 with an extra set of wheels ?.

    No it was pretty unique.......the boiler If I remember correctly was a one off and resulted in it's early withdrawal because the boiler could not be swapped resulting in a longer period out of traffic.

    The 60700's tender still survives (it now belongs to 60009).
