i have added a collection featuring the Robinson A5 Pacific tank
The Great Central Railway Class 9N, classified A5 by the LNER, was a class of 4-6-2 tank locomotives designed by John G. Robinson for suburban passenger services. They were fitted with superheaters, piston valves and Stephenson valve gear.

Re: Robinson A5 Pacific tank
A real guess on this one Neil, but the signal box ( & possibly the background properties) vaguely remind me of a photo I once saw somewhere, taken at Marylebone (with M'bone Station signal box). ......neildimmer wrote: " .... 5129 late 1930’s photo no location

Definitely Marylebone station for the first one.
Interesting positioning of the set number on the GC stock.

On that photo (5129 late 1930s) which shows coaching set MB12, the Robinson anti-telescoping device shows up well, at the lower portion of the coach end.
