    Sir Nigel Gresley - The L.N.E.R.’s First C.M.E.

    I think this is a really common misconception where the W1 is concerned. No idea why. Look at the locomotive carefully. It in fact does look...

    Right - time to put something to bed. Confirmed in writing today to me by another author: the W1 was intended to be streamlined. I have now also...

    I may have miswritten the quote, I will check in the morning against the book.

    Hence the words “speculative on my part” in the section above.

    Sir Nigel Gresley - The L.N.E.R.’s First C.M.E.

    You've just explained for me why William Brown in his book on the W1 was convinced that the W1 could do what 242A1 did. But you've missed one...

    That's fair Jim, I am still getting my head around the concept. So is this closer to GWR practice in some respects, like on the King's?

    Another interesting thing - I had always (wrongly) assumed as a four cylinder locomotive that Gresley had provided four sets of valve gears, but...

    It's really fascinating to see all the different variations, and the only thing I can observe is that the W1 remains the first - maybe only? - of...

    But, as I have tried to explain (possibly poorly!), the W1 was considered streamlined by both its designer and its company, on completion. Gresley...

    Yes, the shape of the W1 was primarily for the draughting factor. I have said this on two separate pages now. Yes, we do have primary evidence...
