Welcome to the forums Locoman!

The RCTS "Locomotives of the LNER" Part 2A lists No. 60134 'Foxhunter' as being built at Darlington.

The text describes the Doncaster & Darlington A1 tenders as being distinguishable by their rivets.
Darlington tenders had countersunk flush rivets.
Doncaster had snap-on rivets.

There's also a picture of Foxhunter in the book, and you can't see rivets - however there's only one Peppercorn A1 picture in the book that does - and that is a close up of the cab area that catches the front of the tender.
The relevant volume of Yeadon's probably has more pictures (I don't have a copy yet).

A1 Pacific Plans

Post by captainjasper »

Hi everyone

I'm new to the forum, don't know very much about locomotives & am hoping someone out there can point me in the right direction.

I am looking for tech drawings or a high res photos of Peppercorns A1 Pacific to create a digital 3D model

I believe the A1 Trust are building a brand new one which is interesting to see, although they're not very forthcoming with drawings understandably.

Thanks
