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

    BP's overhaul looks very thorough.

    Good chance that by 2024 they should all be ' not in bits' . Unlikely they will be the same colour/ shade.

    A2 - BR *Middle Chrome Green/Brunswick Green/Dark Green
    A3 - BR *Middle Chrome Green/Brunswick Green/Dark Green
    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.
