I've forgottern what A/S stands for (did the list a while back) but both A/S's are for Humorist in apple green so maybe someone can jig my memory

It's actually far more complicated than your list. I suggest you look back the forums and find the tables I did on the A1/A3 and A4s.

Can't find it I'm afriad.

In the context of what you spend on your hobby Blackout, and as I'm sure I've recommended before, to you and others on other occasions, get yourself a copy of RCTS Part 2A, it is an essential companion for any self-respecting LNER Pacific admirer. They come up regularly on eBay, for not a lot of dosh.

It would have saved you all that typing and been complete!

I'll be looking out for it at Warley and Peterbrough. I'm on the lookout for Yeadons vols 1, 3 and 4 too

Here you are Blackout:

Go for it!!

[60800]

No dosh at the minute (that's a monthly allowance for you ) I'll be able to build up a good little amount for Warley though so I'm gonna go mad on etched plates from 247, and books. Thanks for the link anyway

For a start you can eliminate all reference to corridor tenders after 1936/7 by which time they were with the new A4s.

I would recommend RCTS Vol 1 and 2A as being just as much, if not more valuable than Yeadon.
