Another drawing of the proposed 460

Another proposed design

Another one - 264 tank

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not getting any pictures from these attachments.

They are TIFF images. Some of them you might have to save as a file and then use a viewer (I'm finding Firefox will display some as images and others I have to save).

TIFF images are common in desktop publishing, so most viewers will read them. Eg. Windows' Fax Viewer.
It is also one of those formats where every vendor has their own interpretation of the standard - but these look to be okay.

This is the first of three images showing the proposed design with full streamlining similar to the A4. It was the LNER board's intention to have these locomotives streamlined but by the time they came to be built BR were in control and that part of the design was deleted.

The second image-more akin to the P1 ideal

The final, rather odd idea.

There was a proposal to complete one A3 with Rotary Cam valve gear - here it is

This is the final 484 proposal before BR put paid to anything bigger than a Pacific

More goodies - this time the early A4 proposal based on "Cock O' the North"

This was a scheme to streamline the Atlantics.

The proposed 2-6-4-4 designed before the V2 was finally created

Not quite a proposal but the ugly A1 with ACFI feedwater heater. 2576.

This drawing took a very long time to finish!

Thanks so much for these, Saint Johnstoun - you certainly have a rare talent. No doubt Bert Spencer and Co. would have found a drawing board for you in the Plant had you been around then!

Think I'll skip on the streamlined C1s, though....
